| Description: |
|
Azienda Agricola Pelissero is a family-run vine-growing estate located in the district of Treiso, in the heart of Barbaresco. Many gradual changes have been performed by the successive generations of the Pelisseros, who transformed the grape-selling activity started by Giovanni Pelissero into winemaking of all the estate-grown grapes.
Winemaking takes place in a cellar surrounded by vineyards situated in a zone called Augenta. The first bottles of wine dated back to 1960 and were produced by Luigi Pelissero, whose work was followed by his son, Oenologist Giorgio who, after finishing his studies, decided to work full time at the winery.
The Pelissero family takes care of all the activities from pruning the vines to marketing the wine. The estate consists of twenty hectares of vineyards which yield a total of 80,000 to 100,000 (according to the year) bottles of wine.
The colour of this wine is a violet-blueish red, almost black but with brilliant reflections. This concentration is also evident on the nose, with a marked varietal scent and aroma of ripe fruit including blackberry, raspberry and red cherry with an underlying fragrance of vanilla. The flavours explode in the mouth, where it is open, full-bodied, and velvety with an intense, long, complex finish.
