Pelletiere

Pelletiere produces Italian-varietal wines from Paso Robles, in San Luis Obispo County on California's Central Coast. The winery focuses on grapes traditionally associated with Italy's wine regions: Montepulciano, Sangiovese, and Lagrein. The Montepulciano achieves notable depth and structure, while the Sangiovese Riserva and Lagrein Riserva demonstrate the potential of these varieties in the Central Coast's warm, well-drained terroir. Wine Enthusiast has rated the portfolio, recognizing the technical execution across the range. Paso Robles' elevation and diurnal temperature swings provide conditions suited to ripening these Mediterranean varieties while maintaining acidity and complexity.
