Winemaker's Tasting Notes
The Pelaverga grape is indigenous to Verduno. One of our most eagerly-anticipated releases each year — made in very limited quantities, it sells out almost as soon as the allocation arrives! Juicy notes of strawberry and cranberry, with lip-smacking acidity. Delightful with salumi, egg pastas, risottos, and light meat dishes.
