Langhe, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
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
