Pelassa 2007 Antaniolo Riserva Nebbiolo (Roero)
- Online Exclusive
This beautiful Riserva expression really shows the potential of Roero, a little-known red wine from Piedmont based on the Nebbiolo grape just like its cousins Barbaresco and Barolo. Soft oak layers are set against a solid background of red fruit and the overall balance is impressive.

Pelassa 2004 Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- Online Exclusive
- $46
Mario Pelassa has crafted a thick and modern Barolo with layers of black fruit backed by spice and wood shavings. The wine is dark, penetrating and compelling thanks to the tightness of its tannins and the fresh acidity that follows. It needs more time to age: give it five or more years in the bottle.

- Online Exclusive
- $23
Beautiful in terms of intensity and consistency, this light style of Nebbiolo offers pretty aromas of forest fruit and crushed white pepper. Polished tannins bring up the rear and this wine would pair nicely with quiche or cheese flan.

Pelassa 2007 Tucci Barbera (Barbera d'Alba)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
This Barbera d’Alba is almost too much of a good thing: it’s very rich and dense, with a dark, impenetrable color and inviting aromas of black stone, mineral, opulent fruit, cherry candy and sweet spice peppermint. It taste very ripe and chewy in the mouth.

Barolos from the 2005 vintage will be ready to drink soon (in 2–3 more years) and this expression shows the ripeness and overall softness associated with the vintage. Black cherry and cassis aromas are enhanced by licorice and smoky tar.
