The Pelassa 2021 Roero Arneis San Vito is bright, luminous and very fragrant. This pretty white wine shows some of the yellow rose, natural rubber and beeswax aromas that are characteristic of the versatile Arneis grape. The mouthfeel is glossy and smooth. This is a terrific value wine to drink within the next year or so.
A layered and rather spicy white with pepper, chalk and citrus character. Medium-bodied with apple and pear flavors. Mango in the aftertaste. Drink now.
Raise your hand if, thinking of Piedmont, you don't make the mistake of thinking of it as an 'exclusively' red region. This is not serious. It is a common belief. The truth is that while the vast majority of wines produced in the region are indeed red, the few whites that are born in the shadow of the Alps are characterised by a level of quality that is simply unique. A fine example is this pure Arneis, proposed by Pelassa. The grapes come mainly from the estate's vineyards located in the Frazione San Vito di Montà d'Alba. The wine, which matures for a couple of months on its noble lees before being bottled, has a beautiful intense straw yellow colour in the glass. The nose reveals a delicate, complex, persuasive and floral bouquet. It is reminiscent, for botany enthusiasts, of delicate broom and sweet chamomile, with light perceptions of honey and jam. In the mouth, it is dry and harmonious, with a pleasant acidulous vein that gives freshness and persistence. Very particular is its natural minerality, typical of the Arneis of Montà d'Alba. For its complexity, Roero Arneis is even described as a 'Barolo Bianco'. Ideal throughout a meal, it is perfect with hors d'oeuvres and fish dishes. Even excellent as an aperitif.
Situated in Montà d'Alba, the Pelassa winery leads vineyards in the Roero and Verduno, for the production of Barolo. Mario founded the Pelassa company in 1960 at the end of his military service. Today, it is run by the whole family, with Maria Teresa, known as Teresina, who has always been at Mario's side, and her sons Davide and Daniele, in the vineyard and cellar respectively. A scrupulous work of selection and clonal programming within the new plantings, and great efforts for investments in the cellar, guarantee the enhancement of the quality of the grapes harvested and the achievement of the objective of producing wines that have a full wine-vineyard-terroir correspondence. It is no coincidence that in recent years the company has concentrated mainly on the cultivation of the three varieties that are best suited to the typical soils of the area: Arneis, Nebbiolo and Barbera.
