Vanotu is the most prestigious of our vineyards, the one that gifted us the first bottles in 1960. It is a plot of land located between 300 and 350 meters in altitude, completely south-facing and situated in the natural closure of one of the most beautiful hills in the area. Barbaresco. Geographically, it is located on the border of the three municipalities of the production area of the Barbaresco.
The highest part is located in the municipality of Barbaresco, in the subzone called Tre Stelle and it is the first to have been replanted by Luigi Pelissero in 1964. It also includes an old farmhouse under renovation for the creation of a small accommodation facility. Below this portion, downstream of the provincial road, lies the part of the vineyard belonging to the Municipality of Treiso, in the subzone called Marcarini. Traveling through the vineyard towards the east, one finally enters the portion of the Municipality of Neive, the smallest of the three, in the subzone called Basarin. A natural crossroads of three villages, three beating hearts for the entire economy of this beautiful territory.
The microclimate is well-ventilated with few issues related to mold, thanks to its location on the upper part of the hill. This ensures a regular seasonal progression even in less favorable years. The soil, particularly rich in limestone, gives rise to soft, elegant, enticing wines that are full of personality, always very expressive of the individual vintages through notes of sage, mint, rose, chamomile, thyme, and a multitude of aromatic herbs that only some soils in Langa can express.
