Founded in 1960 in Treiso, Giorgio Pelissero is a family-owned estate dedicated to expressing the character of Barbaresco through carefully farmed vineyards and a deep respect for the traditions of the Langhe. Today, the third generation continues to build on the family’s reputation for producing elegant, site-driven wines.
The Estate
Located in one of Barbaresco’s four historic communes, the estate farms 42 hectares of vineyards across some of the region’s most respected sites. Over three generations, the Pelissero family has expanded its holdings while maintaining complete control over vineyard management and winemaking. The focus remains firmly on quality, with every wine produced exclusively from estate-grown fruit.
Vineyards and Terroir
The vineyards stretch across the rolling hills of Treiso at elevations ranging from 250 to 400 metres above sea level. Limestone, clay and sandy soils create ideal conditions for Nebbiolo, while specific vineyard sites such as Vanotu, Tulin and Piani each contribute their own distinct character. The combination of altitude, exposure and soil diversity allows for wines of depth, freshness and complexity.
Winemaking
Pelissero combines traditional Piedmontese practices with modern cellar techniques. Careful vineyard selection, gentle extraction and patient ageing allow each wine to develop structure and balance while preserving varietal expression. Depending on the cuvée, maturation takes place in a combination of French oak barriques and larger oak casks.
Wine Style
The wines are defined by purity, elegance and a strong sense of place. Barbaresco offers layers of red fruit, floral notes and fine tannins, while Barbera and Dolcetto deliver freshness and approachability. Across the range, the wines balance concentration with precision and ageing potential.
