According to the winery, Pelaverga is a rare, indigenous variety, found in the village of Verduno in Italy's Piedmont. As it opens, with a sort of mounting energy in the glass, a melange of white pepper and flowers followed by brambly fruit—in this case it's the spice and floral character that dominates. The nose is far different from the mouth, which is rather more dainty than expected, with all of the poise of a cold climate Pinot Noir. That spicy character reemerges at the close, intensifying with each passing moment. 13.5% ABV — 7 years ago

Such light color! Wasn't sure if this was wine at first. Aromatic, juicy, white pepper - just enough tannin to hold it together. — 9 years ago

Reminds me of a Pelaverga di Verduno with a bit more fruit on it. — 9 years ago

My first Freisa ever, lovely fruity, with some tannins, feels like inbetween Pelaverga and Langhe Nebbiolo🍷🇮🇹 — 5 years ago

Lovely, herbal and spicy, sour cherry. Delicate and yet intense and concentrated (flavor, not extraction). Reminiscent of Burlotto pelaverga to me. — 6 years ago

This is not a Pelaverga but a Dolcetto D'Alba. Had it in Turin with Jerome and Davide. Paired it with Risotto ai Funghi e Tartufi, outstanding fennel au gratin in Torino. Go Piedmont! — 6 years ago

Anselmet Petit Rouge 2012. Such an alluring nose of sweet red fruits, balsamic, and smoked plum. Dear Jesus I love this grape when it's done right. And Anselmet does not play around. It's never heavy or serious but instead an unbelievably compelling vin de soif. Really reminds me of Pelaverga at times, or maybe a Cerasuolo Nero d'Avola / Frappato blend. — 10 years ago

Shows the warm of the ‘09 vintage very well. Succulent, full, guided by its overt personality than alluring tension. Plenty of bright acid, tannins are sleek and show a musculature nature without being too dominating on the palate. Ripe black cherry, roasted strawberry, candy cap mushroom, tar, rose, licorice candy, ferns, Ceylon, ting of allspice. Very happy with how this drank, perfect for homemade Pappardelle w/braised rabbit (in Burlotto Pelaverga of course) — 5 years ago

Really clean and easy with the essence of fruit way back there like light rose petals with a touch a some watery strawberry (trust me it’s refreshing) like strawberry water, really nice light rusty red that’s fairly clear, a super complex wetness that is the best part (tied with fruit subtleties) and a general acid to tannin balance that is quite pleasant, mild earthiness in that balance that lightly grips the roof of the mouth. — 7 years ago
