The Pelissero Nubiola Langhe Barbaresco 2021 is a distinguished expression of Nebbiolo from the renowned Piedmont region of Italy. With its deep roots in the Barbaresco DOCG, this wine showcases the elegance and complexity that Nebbiolo is known for. On the nose, it offers an expressive bouquet, with vibrant red fruit notes such as cherry and raspberry, intertwined with the classic floral aromas of rose and violet, alongside subtle hints of dried herbs and a touch of earthiness.
On the palate, the wine is velvety and smooth, featuring balanced acidity and soft tannins. The finish is slightly dry, yet clean, highlighting the characteristic dryness of Nebbiolo. The wine underwent careful maturation for four months after fermentation, which preserved the purity of the fruit and allowed for subtle integration of flavors. The 2021 vintage saw a mild winter followed by a dry and sunny spring, which set the stage for an early harvest. However, rainfall in May and June slowed growth, allowing the vines to recover with an ideal climate for ripening during September. This combination of factors resulted in a vintage that expresses the full potential of the grapes, with the perfect balance of freshness and ripeness.

| Winery | The Nebbiolo grapes for this blend come from six small parcels scattered over Treiso, Barbaresco, and Neive villages in the Barbaresco DOCG. Depending on the parcel, the vineyards face east, south, and west and are planted at 200 to 400 meters. The Guyot-trained vines were planted between 1980 and 2004 at a density of 5,000 vines per hectare. Generally, the terroir comprises sandstone and blue marl derived from an ancient seabed that flowed under the vineyards millions of years ago. The Tanaro River flows through the midst of these hills, influencing the microclimate that gives rise to the signature autumnal fogs of the Langhe. The name for this wine ‘Nubiola’ comes from the historical treaty of agriculture dated 1330 “De Ruralium Commodorum”, where Pier De Crescenzi (a jurist of Bologna) mentioned one of the best-known vines at that time describing it as a sort of black grape called Nubiola…wonderfully vinous and adapted for winemaking.’ Today, that grape is known as Nebbiolo. |
