Pelissero Barbaresco Vanotu 2012

Colour

Intense wide ruby colour.

Bouquet

It expresses fruity notes of raspberry and cherry matched and well harmonized with persuasive woody notes of vanilla. The aromatic frame besides the typical notes of rose completes with notes of sage, mint, thyme, camomile constant over the years: a real trademark for this soil.

Flavour

In the mouth it is velvety ample and fills up with sweet and lasting tannins. The great polyphenolic structure of Nebbiolo and the right acid tannic balance of this wine are synonyms of long lasting wine.
