The 2014 Pelissero Barbaresco Vanotu hails from a tricky Piedmont vintage that saw a cool, wet winter and spring, but a warm May rescued fruit set, promising a good growing season. This wine is vinified with automated punchdowns and temperature control, spending about 22 months in 80% new French barrique, showcasing a modern style with a deft touch of oak. It presents a deep dark garnet red color. On the nose, it's multi-layered and complex, offering hints of meat, rubber, dried rose petals, and fresh black currants, complemented by notes of raspberry, cherry, vanilla, sage, mint, thyme, and chamomile. The palate is equally multi-layered, velvety, and ample, with balanced acidity, polished elegant tannins, and reconfirmed currant notes. While some find it youthful with high tannins, others note its approachability and potential for further mellowing. The great polyphenolic structure of Nebbiolo and its acid-tannic balance promise a long-lasting wine. 【 Long-lasting Nebbiolo structure 】 🍴 Food pairing suggestions: This Barbaresco pairs beautifully with rich dishes such as lamb or roast pork belly. 🥂 Event suggestions: Ideal for a special dinner where a structured, age-worthy red is desired, or for cellaring to enjoy its evolution over the next 15 years or more.
