Verduno

Light

Fratelli Alessandria own 12ha across the communes of Monforte and Verduno, however it only grows Pelaverga in its Verduno vineyards at between 250 and 400 metres above sea level. The Speziale is a fresh expression of this indigenous variety. It's fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, then aged for five to six months in stainless steel and cement, followed by a couple of months in bottle. This short time-frame ensures the fruit remains vibrant and full of life. It delivers a cherry nose followed by a fairly intense mouthful of bitter-edged red and black cherries. Textured and spicy, it's a delicious early-drinking wine.
