WINERY: Castello di Verduno
COUNTRY: Italy
REGION: Piemonte
APPELLATION: Verduno Pelaverga DOC
GRAPE: 100% Pelaverga Piccolo
WINEMAKER NOTES: Pelaverga is indigenous to the village of Verduno, it produces red wines that are light in color but savory and distinctive on the palate. This one is aged in stainless steel before bottling without filtration.
TASTING NOTES: It is soft, though bright ruby red. Intense fragrant nose, showing clear spicy overtones of black pepper and nutmeg, as well as fruity sensations reminiscent of cherries in spirit and strawberries. Nicely-balanced, lingering dry flavour.
PAIRING SUGGESTIONS: Great with salumi. Delightful with egg pastas, risottos, and light meat dishes.
ABOUT THE WINERY: The Castello di Verduno, owned by Gabriella Burlotto and Franco Bianco, is a beautiful old building at the top of the village of Verduno, on the edge of the Barolo zone.
