A clockwork that ticks once a year and strikes once a millennium – designed for 10,000 years. Brian Eno and a group of thinkers founded the Long Now Foundation in 1996 to broaden the view: away from the immediate and towards the long now. Giorgio Pelissero recognised this as the essence of his profession – because there is time in wine. In 1999, he acquired Cascina Tolino between Treiso and Neviglie, steep terrain divided by a municipal border: Only the Nebbiolo on the Treiso side is allowed to become Barbaresco. He combined the rest with Barbera to create perhaps the oldest assemblaggio in Piedmont – only rethought. Vinified separately, ten days of maceration for the Nebbiolo, up to twenty-five for the Barbera, then fifteen months in small oak barrels.

Almost black in the glass, with aromas of blackberry, cherry and graphite. Velvety and full-bodied, with the freshness of Barbera acidity and the tannin architecture of Nebbiolo. A great wine and still an insider tip that answers the question of now with patience. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2020 Long Now, Pelissero's blend of Barbera and Nebbiolo, is fabulous. The combination of inky, jammy Barbera fruit and Nebbiolo structure works very well here. Deep dark fruit, dark chocolate, spices, new leather, liquorice and lavender saturate the palate." Vinous
