The Pelissero family has dedicated themselves to traditional winemaking practices while embracing modern techniques to enhance the expression of their wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer and Winemaker:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e The winery is currently managed by Giorgio Pelissero, who oversees all aspects of production, from vineyard management to winemaking. Giorgio’s profound understanding of the land and commitment to excellence have propelled Pelissero to international acclaim.

These sites feature calcareous clay soils and benefit from a continental climate with significant diurnal temperature variations. Such conditions are ideal for cultivating Nebbiolo, allowing the grapes to develop complexity, balanced acidity, and the tannic structure characteristic of the varietal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape Varietals \u0026amp; Percentage Used:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e 100% Nebbiolo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e The vinification process aims to highlight the freshness and aromatic profile of Nebbiolo. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with maceration periods that are carefully managed to extract optimal color and tannins without overpowering the fruit character. The wine is then aged for approximately 8 to 9 months, with 20-30% in barriques and the remainder in large 50-hectoliter oak barrels. This approach balances the influence of oak, preserving the grape’s inherent qualities.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s3\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eABV (Alcohol by Volume):\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e Approximately 14%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e The 2019 Langhe Nebbiolo presents a clear, bright purple-red hue with lighter tannic nuances at the rim.

On the palate, it offers good persistence with a classic light tannic astringency, well-rounded by subtle wood influences and balanced acidity, leading to a pleasant and stimulating finish.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s3\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFood \u0026amp; Wine Pairing:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e This versatile Nebbiolo pairs well with a variety of dishes, including pasta with rich meat sauces, roasted poultry, and medium-aged cheeses.

Decanting is not necessary; however, allowing the wine to breathe for a few minutes after opening can enhance its aromatic profile. Utilizing medium-sized red wine glasses will help concentrate the aromas and direct the wine to the appropriate areas of the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eStorage and Aging Potential:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e When stored under optimal conditions—away from direct light, at a consistent temperature of 12°C to 15°C (54°F to 59°F), and with controlled humidity—the 2019 Langhe Nebbiolo can develop additional complexity over the next 5 to 7 years, with tertiary flavors such as dried fruits and subtle earthy notes emerging over time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EMW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47922391908566,"sku":null,"price":268.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/5465\/4934\/files\/PelisseroLangheNebbioloDOC.png?v=1773669819","url":"https:\/\/www.pinotera.com\/products\/pelissero-langhe-nebbiolo-doc-2019","provider":"Pinotera Wines \u0026 Spirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
