Pasquale Pelissero, Barbaresco (Piedmont) 2010

Feb 4, 2015

By Wayne Belding

Pelissero’s 2010 Bricco San Giulano Barbaresco is an appealing and complex Nebbiolo.  It shows the intensity of the 2010 vintage.  Layers of juicy black cherry and raspberry fruits are underlain by hints of dried rose, tobacco, anise, tar, smoke and spice.  The flavors are rich and ripe, with fresh and dried red fruits backed by both rustic hints of tar and earth as well as elegant potpourri, smoke and spice tones.  This is a powerful Barbaresco that can age well for another decade and beyond.
