93 / 100""Showing elegant intensity and a long, polished mouthfeel, the Pelassa 2017 Barolo defies the hot vintage to bring nuance and complexity. This is an impressive effort that exhibits dark fruit, mild spice and lots of earthy intensity with a hint of black truffle and forest floor.""

Tasting Notes
A deep and alluring nose, with typical roses and tar aromatics and hints of crushed cherry, violets and balsamic. Rich, bold and powerful on the palate with an impressive level of tannins. Expect flavours of blood orange, macerated strawberries, cranberry and cherry, all done up in new leather and clove spice. With a firm structure and plentiful acidity, this promises great aging potential.
