Red
Verduno Pelaverga
By G. B. Burlotto, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
Verduno's own red, made from Pelaverga Piccolo and kept in steel until bottling in late spring.
Tasting notes
A wine of delicate outlines that anticipate supple oscillations of flavor, with indigo and purple reflections that make you want another sip.
