Cellar Talks S01E01 Pelassa Wines - Daniele Pelassa (Roero, Italy)

In this episode we welcome Daniele Pelassa from Pelassa wines situated in the Piemonte region. Based in Montà d’Alba the Pelassa Winery owns vineyards in the Roero Area and in Verduno – Barolo Area. Thanks to consistency in choices, commitment to the job and love and care for details, the Pelassa family captured not only the home market, but also the foreign one, being on the wine list of the best restaurants in Europe, America and Asia.

In the last years the firm has concentrated mainly on the cultivation of the three varieties which are the most suitable to the typical soil of the area: Arneis, Nebbiolo and Barbera. Recently their hard work got recognized even more, after it resulted in some stellar 89-95 ratings awarded by Monica Larner from the prestigious wine critic Robert Parker.

In this interview we discussed the family winery, their vineyards, grapes and wines as well as the beautiful Roero and Piemonte region. We also tasted one of their wines during the show: the Roero Riserva Arneis 2017.
