Introduction:
The 2023 Cantina Pelassa Arneis “San Vito” is a vibrant, aromatic white that showcases the elegance and revival of Arneis in Piedmont. Produced by the Pelassa family—known for their dedication to traditional varieties in the Roero area—this bottling highlights freshness, floral aromatics, and mineral clarity. “San Vito” reflects both the grape’s delicate character and the estate’s careful, quality-focused approach.

Tasting notes:
Sourced from vineyards 1000 feet ASL in the San Vito district of Montà d'Alba, the 2023 Cantina Pelassa Arneis "San Vito" has aromas of white flowers and chamomile, with subtle hints of honey and white-fleshed fruits. On the palate, it is dry, harmonious, and round, with a lively streak of acidity and flavors of pears and apples that intermingle with notes of lemon zest, almonds and herbs. The finish is long and clean, with citrus and almond nuances laced with subtle hints of wet stone.

Food Pairings:
