In Langa, time is measured not in years but in generations. At the beginning of the last century, Giovanni Pelissero planted the first vines above Treiso, a quiet hillside village on the eastern flank of the Barbaresco region. The first bottle was filled in 1960, and in 1990 Giorgio Pelissero took over the estate and made a decisive decision: to grow only indigenous grape varieties. Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto and Moscato still make up the estate's entire repertoire today.
Treiso is the only municipality in the Langhe that combines four denominations. The expressions of a shared terroir are correspondingly diverse. On 42 hectares in Treiso, Neive, Barbaresco and Neviglie, wines are produced from characterful sites such as Munfrina and Augenta, whose soils and altitudes produce distinctly different profiles.
At the top is Barbaresco. Even the entry-level wine, Nubiola, refers to the historical name of the Nebbiolo grape. Above it ranks the single-vineyard Barbaresco Vanotu, concentrated and long-lasting. However, it is remarkable how much attention Moscato and Dolcetto are already receiving. The Moscato d'Asti from the Munfrina vineyard shows aromatic depth rather than mere sweetness, while the Dolcetto d'Alba Munfrina and Augenta 2024 tell the story of the same hill from two perspectives: one soft and fruity, the other structured and mineral.
The "Long Now" 2020, a cuvée of Nebbiolo and Barbera, plays a special role. Its name describes the philosophy of the house: wine is created with patience, but can always be experienced in the present moment.
Pelissero impressively demonstrates how multifaceted Treiso can be, from light-footed Moscato to complex Barbaresco. A journey through grape varieties, soils and generations that brings Piedmont to life in concentrated form.
