The famed Italian wine region of Piedmont gives the world exquisite Barolo and Nebbiolo, however some of the best values are found in Barbera. Such is the case for the Pelassa Barbera San Pancrazio, Wine Advocate's top rated selection under $25 a bottle! Barbera is what the Italian's drink for their daily vino, chalk full of ripe red fruits, smooth tannins, excellent balance and a pretty finish. The full ripeness of both fruit and tannins makes these wine attractive for immediate enjoyment. Monica Larner says "This is a terrific set of new releases from Daniele Pelassa. The wines are delightful across the board." Count us as fans and this Tre Bicchieri, Gold Medal Award Winning, 91 Point Barbera hits it out of the park!
"A juicy and complete barbera here with a lustrous nose full of spiced dark cherries, hibiscus and stones. Medium-bodied and linear on the palate with solid cherry fruit and fresh, sleek tannins. Really drinkable. Would rate higher if there was a little more depth on the mid-palate. Delicious now." James Suckling, 91 Points
"The Pelassa 2021 Barbera d'Alba Superiore San Pancrazio offers meaty aromas of dark fruit and blackberry. The wine is thickly textured and soft with plenty of oozing berry confit. You get textural richness here, plenty of ripe fruit and the bright acidity to pair across from fatty foods like a classic cacio e pepe pasta." The Wine Advocate, 90 Points
