Giorgio Pelissero's 2011 Barbarescos are some of the very best wines I have ever tasted here. The wines have texture, depth and resonance to spare, yet remain impeccably balanced. As always, the Vanotu is the most overt of the wines. In the warm, precocious 2011 vintage, I have a slight preference for the Nubiola and Tulin, but all three Barbarescos are terrific.

I was a bit puzzled with a few of Giorgio Pelissero's wines on this trip, as some of his wines struck me as very ripe and chocolatey, even port-like. Pelissero, who told me that all of his colleagues like their 2012 nebbiolo wines very much, described 2010 as "a unique vintage with a late harvest. The aromas are Burgundian, floral and open; I find them to be very direct expressions of our grapes but some young people in the region don't recognize their aromas." The village of Treiso did best in 2010 due to its higher altitude, less humid air and routinely windier conditions, he pointed out. There were far less fungus pressures here, he added.
