Pelissero Barbaresco Vanotu 2015

Pelissero Barbaresco “Vanotu” 2015

A powerful and age-worthy expression of Barbaresco, Vanotu represents Pelissero’s most concentrated and structured Nebbiolo. Sourced from a single vineyard in Treiso, one of the highest and most distinctive communes of Barbaresco, this wine combines depth, intensity, and refinement—beautifully aligned with the generous yet balanced 2015 vintage.

The nose is complex and layered, revealing aromas of dried rose, sour cherry, and dark plum intertwined with notes of tar, licorice, and sweet spice. Subtle hints of tobacco, leather, and crushed stone add depth. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured, with firm yet polished tannins and vibrant acidity that provide lift and definition. Flavors of red and dark fruit, savory earth, and spice unfold gradually into a long, commanding finish.

Now entering an excellent drinking window, the 2015 Vanotu offers both immediate richness and the backbone to continue evolving over the next decade and beyond.
