About this winery

Pelissero cultivates dreams in close to 38 hectares of vineyard and we harvest passions that we encapsulate in nearly 250,000 bottles every year. We produced our first bottles in 1960, utilizing artisanal methods in a small cellar on the ground floor of their home. Today this process is carried out in a new cellar surrounded by vineyards and located in the zone called Augenta.

Product notes

Moscato is an aromatic grape, the very fi rst to be harvested. It is widespread around our hills, above all upon those soils which are less indicated for the classic red grapes. After picking up the grapes in 20 kilos cases, we bring it in the cellar where it is destemmed, crushed and pressed at low temperatures. We do all this procedure very quickly so that the aromatic substances are preserved. The fi rst night we must make a natural cold decanting and then it is fi ltered in order to separate the skins and seeds from the must. Next step is the formation of foam inside under pressure steel cask, where sugar is transformed in alcohol up to 5,5%. The process ends with under pressure bottling.

Production notes

The village of Treiso is one of the very few in Langhe region which was called Land of the Four D.O.C, because its territory included Dolcetto doc, Barbera doc, Nebbiolo (Barbaresco) doc and also Moscato d’ Asti doc. As well as the classic triptych composed by Dolcetto, Barbera e Nebbiolo (Barbaresco), the forth denomination is Moscato d’ Asti. At the end of 2008 we bought some new plot of vineyard partly cultivated with Moscato d’ Asti, from here the decision to follow a new challenge and to begin, very humbly, to enclose this product in our production
