The Pelassa family has always produced wine from the vineyards they owned. The present winery was created in 1960 by Mario, who has been producing and making wine from his vineyards for more than fifty years, with the help of his wife Maria Teresa Viglione. Until 2000 the firm's market was the north-western part of Italy, now their sons Davide and Daniele have transformed it into a modern and dynamic firm.

In the last years the firm has concentrated mainly on the cultivation of the three varieties which are the most suitable to the typical soil of the area: Arneis, Nebbiolo and Barbera.

Davide is a vine-dresser by passion and a tractorist by vocation. All his love and dedication go to the vineyards as well as to his wife and his two beautiful daughters Greta and Giada.

To many people Daniele is the face associated with the Pelassa winery. He not only makes wine by processing the grapes from the family vineyards, but he also enthusiastically promotes it around the world, so that more and more people can get to know it and love it.
