Verduno

The rare Pelaverga variety is pretty much non-existent outside of the Barolo commune of Verduno. This example undergoes a short vinification in stainless steel to preserve its light aromas of cherry and wild strawberry. There's an earthy and herbal depth, too, which adds interest. Bright and mineral, this is all about its red fruit character and floral overtones; savoury yet ripe with those earthy notes coming through again in the mouth. The vibrant acidity helps to prolong the finish, although it doesn't offer huge persistence. A fresh, simple and delicious example of the variety.
