Producer Profile

About Giorgio Pelissero
The third-generation Giorgio Pelissero estate considers the Langhe to be in its DNA, and it understands its Barbaresco to be its connection to the world. Pelissero, an unabashed modernist, is on the forefront of refashioning Barbaresco along more international lines. Giorgio, the owner-winemaker and the great-grandson of the estate’s founder, believes in making wine that both speaks to the past and looks to the future, and the Pelissero estate grows primarily indigenous Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto on its 104 acres scattered across Treiso, Neive, Barbaresco and Neviglie. Selecting winemaking techniques that pluck the best from international, as well as traditional, methods, Pelissero uses temperature-controlled fermentation, and aging wine in vats of varying sizes and types, from new barrique to old neutral botti, all depending on what protocol coaxes the best profile from the grapes. Pelissero crafts a range of Barbaresco bottlings, both cuvée and cru, including its sensational Barbaresco Vanotu, and all wines embody the elegant, characterful, and captivating Pelissero house style.
