Note di degustazione
Good bright, deep red. Pungent calcaire-driven aromas of currant, sage, camomile, bitter chocolate, licorice, rosemary and pure rose. Dense and sweet but not at all heavy, showing lovely lift and grip to the suave flavors of currant, spices and graphite minerality. This mounts slowly and builds on the sweetly tannic finish, leaving the mouth perfumed. Done entirely in new barriques but I never would have guessed it. A beauty.

The 2008 Barbaresco Vanotu is a rich seamless wine layered with dark fruit, mocha, espresso, spices and French oak. Sweet balsamic notes develop in the glass, adding further nuance and dimension on the powerful, resonant finish. This is a beautifully opulent yet mid-weight Barbaresco from Giorgio Pelissero.

Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025. These are among the finest wines I have ever tasted from Giorgio Pelissero. The 2008 harvest was very much on the later side and began in mid-October. The Vanotu was aged in 100% new French oak barrels, while the Nubiola and Tulin were aged approximately 60% in cask and 40% used French oak. Pelissero credits higher-quality barrels as one of the main reasons his wines are more elegant than in the past, but he isn’t giving himself enough credit.
