Rose Week Day 3: Pelassa Rose

In the 1950s, while trying to provide for his family, Mario Pelassa rode his bike into Turin every chance he got so that he would be able to sell his wine to the people living there who were benefitting from a thriving economy.

Since the 2000s, the Pelassa Winery has been taken over by his sons, Davide and Daniele. Davide, a tractor driver by vocation, is in charge of getting the best grapes to the winery. Daniele, on the other hand, is the face of Pelassa Wine, the more commercial and communicative soul.

Zippy, zesty and electrifying! This Rose will give you goosebumps in the best way. Made from 100% Nebbiolo - a grape famed most often for red wines with a pale hue, deceptively firm tannins and the aforementioned goosebump inducing tartness. This wine is friendly and bright with notes of roses, raspberry, strawberry and grapefruit with plenty of structure that would make this a go to for picnics, melon with prosciutto or ceviche!
