The Pelissero family has been dedicated to farming and agriculture in the Langhe region, for generations. Based in Treiso, they are located in the heart of the Barbaresco DOCG production area. Since 1960, when Luigi Pelissero first bottled their estate wines, they have been producing Piedmont wines that authentically express the fine nuances of Italian varieties such as Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto. Luigi’s son, winemaker Giorgio joined the winery having completed his oenology studies and following in his father’s footsteps he has embarked on a journey of continual improvement and research in their 42-hectare vineyard and in the cellar. The vines, which flourish in the distinctive sandstone and blue marl soils, are sustainably cultivated and certified by SQNPI. Giorgio deftly crafts wines with rich flavours and wonderful typicity.

The Cascina Tolina vineyard is located in the villages of Treiso and Neviglie in DOCG Barbaresco. It covers a single contiguous plot, which is not common in the Langhe, and comprises almost an entire hill, shaped in a natural amphitheatre, with altitudes ranging from 250 to 350 metres. The name Tulin probably refers to someone who owned or lived on this property in the past: in Piedmontese dialect the word ‘Tulin’ means a small tin container and the “tulé” was the tinsmith.

A vivacious ruby colour. The nose expresses ample and fruity perfumes of magnesium and iron linked to the minerality of soil with well evident varietal notes and a right contribution of wood. The taste features the austerity typical of Nebbiolo completely and persuasiveness, saltiness and the right tannin give the taste a velvety and wrapping frame.
