Overview
Pelissero Barbaresco Vanotu is a distinguished expression of Nebbiolo, born from a vineyard steeped in family heritage and nurtured through generations. Named after Giovanni, affectionately known as “Vanotu” in the Piedmontese dialect, this wine is crafted with deep affection and precision. The vineyard’s exceptional exposure and microclimate allow it to produce wines of remarkable personality, even in challenging vintages. Modern winemaking techniques are employed to enhance varietal purity while preserving the soul of traditional Barbaresco. Aged in predominantly new barriques and matured further in bottle, Vanotu delivers a masterful balance of innovation and reverence for the terroir.
Tasting Notes
Intensely ruby in colour, Vanotu opens with vibrant notes of raspberry and cherry elegantly layered with refined hints of vanilla from oak ageing. The bouquet deepens into signature Barbaresco aromas—rose petal, sage, mint, thyme, and chamomile—forming a complex and evocative aromatic profile that is consistent vintage after vintage. On the palate, it is velvety and expansive, underpinned by sweet, enduring tannins. The Nebbiolo grape’s formidable polyphenolic structure and the wine’s poised acidity promise both immediate charm and long-term ageing potential, making Vanotu a timeless symbol of finesse and longevity.
