Tasting Notes on Peraebbasta by Eranomele
Full of flavour, rich and fruity, sweet but not too much. Perabbasta is refreshing and low in acidity, but with a very rich mouthfeel–all for just 4% ABV.
From cider makers Eranomele, Peraebbasta is cousin to another cider I have reviewed Melaebbasta, and has the same cool look and feel on the tin (look at the amazing artwork! I would love to know who the artist is). Similarly to Melaebbasta, the title “Peraebbasta” in Italian means “just pears”, a statement to the genuine wholesome nature of this pear cider made with 100% italian pears from the Piedmont region.
For the overall flavour profile I strongly recommend drinking this pear cider fridge cold, as it will lose some freshness at room temperature. If you are keen to try it you can it on Eranomele’s website here.
Notes from the producers
Original language (Italian) “Eh no, non erano mele stavolta. Si trattava di polpose pere delle campagne Piemontesi giunte nella selva oscura dell’hinterland e trasformante in sidro durante mistici rituali. Peraebbasta e’ un sidro che profuma di fiori ed erba bagnata in grado di risvegliare anche i palati degli antichi spiriti dei boschetti di provincia.”
English: “Oh no, they weren’t apples this time. They were pulpy pears from the Piedmont countryside that had come to the dark woods of the hinterland and were transformed into pear cider during mystical rituals. Peraebbasta is a pear cider that smells of flowers and wet grass capable of awakening even the palates of the ancient spirits of provincial groves.”
Food pairing
With such a pronounced fruity and semi-sweet flavour profile this will go very well with semi-seasoned blue cheeses like stilton. It is also great with light fruit based desserts such as Italian macedonia di frutta or a fruit sorbet.
