Pelassa San Pancrazio Barbera d'Alba Superiore DOC 2021

Pelassa is a small family-owned winery located in Montà d'Alba, a picturesque town nestled in the Piedmont region of Italy. The estate was established in the 1950s by Mario Pelassa, who, at the tender age of 10, was advised to help his family's finances by selling Nebbiolo, a grape variety indigenous to the area. He cycled into Turin with a few flasks of Nebbiolo and sold them, thus laying the foundation for what was to become the Pelassa winery.

Today, Pelassa's 12-hectare vineyard is run by Mario's sons, Daniele and Davide. They have modernized the winery while still maintaining the traditional winemaking techniques passed down from their father. The brothers have also decided to focus on producing three grape varieties that are most suited to the unique soil of the region: Arneis, Nebbiolo, and Barbera. These varieties are known for producing wines that express the terroir of the area, meaning that the wines are true reflections of the land and climate where they are grown.
