Paso Robles, CA – May 27, 2024 – Pelletiere Estate Winery is thrilled to announce the debut of their highly anticipated estate, 2021 Aglianico, now available for tasting at their Paso Robles tasting room. This marks the first time they are offering this rare and exquisite Italian varietal, cultivated from vines planted in 2016, to our esteemed guests. Previously reserved exclusively for wine club members this release provides a unique opportunity for a broader audience to experience this remarkable wine.
The 2021 Aglianico makes an immediate impression as it ours into the glass, displaying a deep hue and expressive nose of blackberry, spiced plum, boysenberry and a hint of nutmeg. On the palate, rich flavors of black berry, anis, and cocoa intertwine with silky tannins and balanced acidity, delivery a memorable tasting experience.
Aglianico, along with Sangiovese and Nebbiolo, is celebrated as one of the three greatest Italian varieties, known for its bold flavors and robust structure. These qualities are beautifully showcased in Pelletiere Estate Winery’s 2021 vintage. Originating from Italy, Aglianico is often referred to as the “Barolo of the South” for its aging potential and depth of character. The estate-grown Aglianico exemplifies these traits, offering both season wine enthusiasts and newcomers a chance to explore this exceptional grape.
Pelletiere Estate Winery invites all to celebrate the arrival of their 2021 Aglianico. The tasting room is by appointment, Thursday through Sunday, welcoming guests to enjoy this beautiful and rare variety at their Willow Creek District tasting room. Schedule a tasting at Pelletiere.com
