The 2013 Giorgio Pelissero Barbaresco Tulin comes from the Cascina Tolino vineyard in Treiso and Neviglie, with vines planted in 1950 and 2001. The 2013 vintage for Piedmont was considered extremely good, despite a wet spring that led to reduced yields due to downy mildew. This wine is produced using modern techniques while maintaining traditional methods, aiming to harmonize the austerity of Nebbiolo with modern concepts of persuasiveness and pleasantness. It undergoes maceration with skins for about 15 days in steel casks, followed by 18-20 months of aging in wood, with about 50% in 50 hl oak casks and the rest in barrique, before 9 months in bottle. Critics have noted its depth and layered character, suggesting it benefits from several years in the cellar. 【 Harmonious blend of tradition and modernity 】 Tasting Notes: The 2013 Barbaresco Tulin presents a vivacious ruby colour. The nose offers ample and fruity perfumes of magnesium and iron, linked to the soil's minerality, with evident varietal notes and a balanced contribution of wood. On the palate, it expresses the typical austerity of Nebbiolo with persuasiveness, saltiness, and a right tannin structure, giving it a velvety and enveloping frame. James Suckling described it as polished and velvety with blueberry, chocolate, and light walnut character, a medium body, firm and soft texture, and a flavorful finish. Other notes include oak, grilled herb, dried porcini mushroom, stewed fruit, camphor, leather, and red cherry. Food Pairing: This Barbaresco is an excellent match for lamb, rich red meat dishes, truffle-based pasta, aged cheeses, or traditional Piedmontese cuisine like brasato al Barolo. Event Suggestions: Ideal for a sophisticated dinner, a special celebration, or as a thoughtful gift for a lover of fine Italian reds. Its structure and aging potential make it suitable for cellaring and enjoying over many years.
