i. Biography
Coming Up
Since 1989, Giorgio Pelissero has been owner and winemaker of Pelissero Azienda Agricola Vitivinicola, with the work shaped by continuity rather than novelty. The estate’s identity is built through restraint: reading what the land gives, keeping the vineyard character legible, and letting the seasons do their part. What comes from that approach is steady and grounded, with the mark of long accumulation rather than quick effect.
Where They Are Now
In Treiso, Piedmont, Italy, Giorgio Pelissero remains involved with the estate, where place is not background but working material. The connection between vineyard and practice is direct, and his role continues to sit inside that relationship. The continuity matters: this is a life still tied to the terrain, the vines, and the long view that has defined the estate’s identity.
Signature
Vanotu, Barbaresco DOCG Nubiola, Barbaresco Turin, Longnow, and Barbera d'Alba Piani are the named signatures associated with Giorgio Pelissero. Taken together, they show a house style that is composed rather than loud, with each bottle carrying the estate’s language in a direct way. The range points to consistency across the lineup, and to a voice tied closely to place, continuity, and the cadence of the Langhe.
In Their Words “Our family’s agricultural DNA has always been firmly rooted in the timeless traditions of the Langhe farmer.” “We are children of this land and its vines.” These lines place family farming and vine work inside the same frame. They describe inheritance as practice, not sentiment: a way of working that comes from the Langhe and stays accountable to it. Giorgio Pelissero’s position is clear in that language—estate, land, and method are aligned, and the work remains rooted in the traditions that shaped it.
