2023 Castello di Verduno Basadone Pelaverga

Producer: Castello Di Verduno  
Region: Piedmont, Italy  
Varietal: Pelaverga  
Year: 2023 

Winemaker Notes:  

"The Pelaverga grape is indigenous to Verduno. One of our most eagerly-anticipated releases each year — made in very limited quantities, it sells out almost as soon as the allocation arrives! Juicy notes of strawberry and cranberry, with lip-smacking acidity. Delightful with salumi, egg pastas, risottos, and light meat dishes." 

About the Producer: 

"The Castello di Verduno, owned by Gabriella Burlotto and Franco Bianco, is a beautiful old building at the top of the village of Verduno, on the edge of the Barolo zone. The Castello di Verduno wine label unites two cellars, one under the castle in the Barolo zone and the other near the famous 'cru' Rabajà, in the Barbaresco area. Wines are produced in Barbaresco and bottled and stored in Verduno." 

Alcohol: 13.5%
