The Producer: Giorgio Pelissero
Over the past twenty years, Giorgio Pelissero’s wines have earned some of the highest honors in Piemonte. These wines are beloved by sommeliers and chefs, as well as collectors, consumers, and critics. They strike a perfect balance, being both immediately enjoyable and capable of aging gracefully. They embody the essence of the region while also standing out with their unique character.
Giorgio is a passionate and dedicated winemaker with a deep bond to his land. He takes pride in his team’s achievements and works with humility and a strong sense of service to those around him.
Giorgio started working in his great-uncle’s vineyards as a very young boy, and the winery and attached house are now where he and his parents live. Since the 1960s, they have maintained these remarkable vines and are among the few families who have expanded by acquiring parcels of land that suit their wine-making style. As a result, Giorgio is now one of the largest landowners in Barbaresco, growing nearly 100% of the fruit required for the winery’s production.
While this doesn’t necessarily make the process easier, it significantly enhances the quality and allows Giorgio to oversee the vines from the start to the end of each year. He takes full responsibility for both the successes and challenges.
