Piedmont
Located, as its name suggests, at the foot of the Alps bordering France and Switzerland, Piedmont is the second largest of Italy’s 20 regions, after Sicily.
Recognized for its industry like Fiat in Turin, Piedmont is also one of the greatest regions in the world in terms of cuisine (don’t forget the white truffles from Alba!) and wine!
With 42 DOC and 17 DOCG, Piedmont has more wine appellations than any other Italian region. Barolo, Barbaresco, Barbera but also Moscato or Dolcetto are demanded all over the world.
Pasquale Pelissero
Pasquale Pelissero is a tiny, family-owned winery but being one of the first producers in Neive to bottle and sell its own wines.
The cellar sits close to the top of the Bricco San Giuliano hill, completely surrounded by Pelissero vineyards. Since the death of Pasquale in 2007, his daughter Ornella has carried on the family tradition.
Their Bricco San Giuliano Barbaresco comes from an 8-hectare parcel at about 400 meters above sea level. The winery’s annual production is only around 15,000 bottles.
The estate is a member of a newly formed consortium called “Biotipicità,” founded by Langhe producers who all adhere to the “lotta integrata,” an Italian regulation governing sustainable farming methods.
