Pelissero is without question one of the top-tier estates in Barbaresco. Every wine in this lineup is solid and well worth seeking out. In particular, the 2009 Barbareschi are some of the very finest wines I have ever tasted here. The management of the tannins – such a problem at other estates – was expertly handled. Pelissero's 2010 Barbareschi had been bottled just before my visit and were too closed down to properly evaluate.

Giorgio Pelissero is one of numerous growers I tasted with in September who consider 2008 to be the most classic recent vintage. "It's more Piemontese, more nebbiolo, complex and elegent," he told me. "Here the 2009s are sweeter and more international in style, easy to understand. The '07s are close to 2009 in style, but maybe not as complex." Pelissero also showed me a special 15th anniversary wine he made from low-yielding vines at the top of the Vanotu hill in vintage 2004. The wine spent four years in new French barriques (there are just four barrels of this juice), then two years in bottle prior to being released in numbered three-bottle cases as well as in magnums and double magnums. It's worth a search of the marketplace.

These are among the finest wines I have ever tasted from Giorgio Pelissero. The 2008 harvest was very much on the later side and began in mid-October. The Vanotu was aged in 100% new French oak barrels, while the Nubiola and Tulin were aged approximately 60% in cask and 40% used French oak. Pelissero credits higher-quality barrels as one of the main reasons his wines are more elegant than in the past, but he isn't giving himself enough credit.
