Pelissero

Lively, fresh, pure Dolcetto with complex aromas of dark fruits and spices, remarkably complex and long on the palate. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2016 Dolcetto d'Alba Munfrina is a tasty, mid-weight offering with good brightness to its red and purplish-toned fruit. In this vintage, the Munfrina is a touch slender, which is a departure from the richer style of 2015, but more typical for Dolcetto." Antonio Galloni

The intense red-violet Dolcetto from the Augenta vineyard shows an open, fruity aroma, complex on the palate, tannic, acidity and alcohol in wonderful balance and a typical Dolcetto delicate bitter aftertaste. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark cherry, plum, smoke, licorice and tobacco are some of the many notes that run through the 2016 Dolcetto d'Alba Augenta. The personality of this site and aging in cask yield a brooding Dolcetto with ample shoulders and notable breadth, not to mention quite a bit of power." Antonio Galloni

The Barbera d'Alba Piani is pleasantly fresh. A remarkable concentration in its fragrance of dark fruits and sweet aromas of roasted oak. On the palate full, full-bodied, silky textured tannins and harmonious all around. SUPERIORE.DE

"A wine of power, the 2015 Barbera d'Alba Piani possesses notable intensity in its fruit richness and tannic clout. I tasted the 2015 from barrel prior to bottling. At present, the wine shows some rough edges that will surely soften in time." VINOUS

Long Now stands for a modern, early drinking wine with a traditional longevity. SUPERIORE.DE

"tobacco, leather, black cherry, currant, earthy, herbs, multi-layered, animal, big potential – a wine that stands on its own, but can also go well with a Cohiba, good complexity, would also go well with boiled game. Nebbiolo and Barbera vinified to perfection, a very great, multi-faceted wine." Falstaff

"The 2011 Long Now is dark, rich and imposing, with fabulous depth allied to a sense of underlying tension that balances some of the wine's inherent opulence. Black cherries, smoke, tobacco, incense and licorice meld together in an explosive Barbera/Nebbiolo blend endowed with magnificent richness and power. Tasted next to the 2012, the 2011 is quite a bit riper and also presents more oak influence." Antonio Galloni

A Barbera of selected class and beauty. Wonderfully balanced with a concise fruit and beautiful minerality. Carried by energy, this exceptional wine leads to a long finale. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2015 Barbera d'Alba Tulin is gorgeous. Racy, silky and exceptionally polished, the 2015 exudes class. Raspberry jam, mocha, crushed flowers, cloves and new leather meld together in a supple, juicy Barbera that will drink well right out of the gate. Sweet floral notes add attractive lift on the finish." Antonio Galloni

"Rich and dense, exuding blackberry, plum, tar and leafy underbrush flavors, this red is a bit austere now, yet racy, finishing with a hefty dose of tannins." Wine Spectator

"The 2014 Long Now, Pelissero's Barbera/Nebbiolo blend, is superb. Deep, intense Barbera fruit takes center stage in this release. Graphite, smoke, licorice, blackberry jam and dark spices emerge from the 2014, a wine that is rich and unctuous yet also linear in structure. Giorgio Pelissero won't bottle the 2014 until 2017, but even today, it is striking and also highly promising. It will be interesting to see how the 2014 responds to the last phase of aging." Antonio Galloni

In the bouquet eucalyptus and red berries. Energetic Barbaresco with a horn of fruit, rose petals and spices. Wonderfully polished style, one of the great wines of Pelissero. SUPERIORE.DE

"A polished and velvety red with blueberry, chocolate and light walnut character. Medium body, firm and soft textured. Flavorful finish." James Suckling

"The 2013 Barbaresco Tulin is deep and layered in the glass, but also quite shut down today. There is plenty of intensity in the glass, but the wine still needs time to come together, as it is a bit nervous today. With air, the wine starts to show some of its pedigree, but readers are best off cellaring the 2013 for at least a few years. Sweet red cherry, plum rose petal and blood orange infuse the expressive finish. This is the wine that shows the energy of the late harvest the most. " Antonio Galloni

"Offering a mix of eucalyptus, briar and berry flavors, this red is elegant and intense at once, with an earthy accent chiming in as the finish expands. The dusty tannins leave a mouthcoating grip."Wine Spectator

"Pelissero's 2011 Barbaresco Tulin impresses for its crystalline purity. Bright veins of chalky salinity support the fruit in a drop-dead gorgeous, vibrant Barbaresco built on energy and nuance. An exotic finish laced with hints of tangerine peel, rose petal, anise and spices rounds things out beautifully. This is one of the most polished, graceful wines I have ever tasted from Giorgio Pelissero."Antonio Galloni

"Pretty floral, cherry and raspberry aromas and flavors are show accents of tobacco and spice in this red. Juicy, with a firm structure and lingering finish."Wine Spectator
