Red
Verduno Pelaverga
By Matteo Ascheri, Langhe, Piemonte, Italy
A rare Pelaverga from the Rivalta vineyards near Verduno.
Tasting notes
Light ruby red colour. Elegant bouquet of small fruits and flowers, spicy with velvety notes of white pepper. Delicate, soft and pleasantly harmonious. Easy to drink. Charming, with great balance and typicality.
Pairs well with
Book: The Boys Who Love Each Other (Jacques Prévert). Film: The Ignorant Fairies (Ferzan Ozpetek).
