Barbaresco DOCG Vanotu, by Pelissero, is made with grapes from a vineyard located in the Cascina Vanotu, situated at the intersection of the communes of Treiso, Barbaresco and Neive, an area certainly suited for the production of great wines. We are at an altitude of between 300 and 350 metres above sea level. The soil, of medium texture with a rich limestone component, gives the wine a unique and special character. In the cellar, temperature-controlled fermentation and timed, automatic mechanical punching-down allow the best possible enhancement of the varietal characteristics of Nebbiolo, preserving its freshness and fragrance. Ageing takes place in barriques for about two years and then in bottles for at least another nine months, giving the wine complexity, concentration and soft, enveloping tannins. Vanotu has an intense, broad ruby red colour. On the nose, fruity notes of raspberry and cherry are well harmonised with hints of wood and vanilla. Then hints of rose, sage, mint, thyme and chamomile, representing the true 'trademark' of this soil. In the mouth, the wine stands out for its velvety and enveloping structure, with sweet and persistent tannins. The great structure of Nebbiolo and the right acid-tannic ratio promise long ageing. It is the ideal companion for meat starters, savoury first courses, red meat main courses and game. It also pairs wonderfully with mature cheeses and truffles.
