Pasquale Pelissero's Barbaresco and Langhe Nebbiolo in 6-packs.

These wines are wonderful expressions of their appellations.  Langhe Nebbiolo Pasqualin DOC, Pasquale Pelissero 2012    Bottle Price: $29.95 CAD Case Price: $179.70 CAD Btls per Case: 6 x 750 ml Producer: Pasquale Pelissero Region: Piedmont, Italy Subtle yet powerful, sexy, smooth and charming with laser-like precision. 100% Nebbiolo grown at about 400 meters above sea-level in a mix of clay calcareous soils, the wine sees 8-10 days on the skins in stainless steel, after which it is aged in combination of botte, barriques and stainless-steel to maintain its fresh fruit characteristics. This wine delivers ripe cherry and currants on the palate, followed by hints of cocoa and tobacco. Finishes with slightly grippy, smooth tannins and a hint of Serralunga-reminiscent chalky minerality. By the time these wines are rated by the critics, the winery has always sold through the wines. This year, we decided to take the bull by the horns and order some up. It is hard to dispute that Nebbiolo is the king of Italian grape varietals. As the sole varietal used in the production of Barolo and Barbaresco as well as some other DOC's in the Piemonte region, the Nebbiolo grape produces some of the most sought after wines in the world.   We have gone to visit Pasquale Pelissero winery a few times now.  Each time we try the wines and love them. Each time, we have waited too long to order them and they have been sold out. We wanted to be sure that we did not make the same mistake again as these are bottles that anyone who appreciates Nebbiolo based wines, will love.   The Langhe is drinking wonderfully today, but will benefit from a little time in the cellar. I would suggest that this will be delicious any time in the next 7 years or so.  The Barbaresco Bricco San Guliano will cellar well up until 2025, or perhaps longer.  Whatever you choose, or if you choose both like i did, you will be very happy.   There are always new additions on the WineOnline.ca website.  Great wines, interesting tidbits of information.  We strive to keep clients interested and engaged.  If there is something you would like to see, or something that is not meeting your expectations, we want to know about it.  Please email me directly at aaron@wineonline.ca, you can also call the office at 877-714-WINE (9463).
