Pelissero is a family estate in Treiso, one of the heartland communes of Barbaresco, where Giorgio Pelissero now runs the show as third generation. Best known for serious Nebbiolo, they also make a benchmark Barbera d'Alba from clay-rich vineyards ideally suited to the grape. Expect everything you want from Piedmontese Barbera: bright acidity, juicy dark fruit and zero hard edges. A versatile, food-loving red from a name that knows the Langhe inside out.

More about Pelissero

The Pelissero family has made wine for three generations in Treiso, in the heart of the Barbaresco zone, and produced its first wine in 1960. Today the estate farms 42 hectares of its own vineyards and buys no grapes from anyone else. Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto make up the lineup, from everyday Dolcetto and Barbera d'Alba up through single-vineyard Barbaresco and Riservas, all made to let the fruit and the hills of Treiso do the talking. A Barbaresco family that knows its land.
