This is another set of gorgeous wines from Giorgio Pelissero. The 2013 Nebbiolos were brought in between October 18 and 26, which is very much on the late side by the estate's standards. Pelissero is among the growers who gives his wines longer aging than is now the custom. The 2013 Barbarescos spent two full years in oak (a combination of cask and barriques) and then two months in steel prior to bottling, with the Vanotu seeing the highest percentage of new French oak. Pelissero's flagship Nebbiolo/Barbera Long Now is aged exclusively in French oak, most of it new. I also tasted a few 2014s from barrel. Those wines point to another highly promising vintage at Pelissero.

Giorgio Pelissero's 2012s have maintained gorgeous freshness, most of which can be attributed to the decision to move up picking dates slightly. The Nubiola is the most classic, mid-weight of the three Barbarescos, while the Vanotu is the most opulent and the Tulin is somewhere in between. Every wine I tasted at Pelissero during my most recent visit was both delicious and something I would personally want to drink, something I can say about only a small number of estates in Piedmont.
