The Pelaverga di Verduno DOC from Sordo represents a fascinating choice for lovers of rare and distinctive wines. This red wine, hailing from the picturesque hills of Piedmont, comes from a specific area recognized for its exclusivity and limited production.

The Pelaverga di Verduno is made entirely from Pelaverga piccolo grapes, an indigenous variety that imparts unique characteristics to the wine. Its color is a clear and bright ruby, almost transparent, hinting at the freshness and elegance expressed in the glass. On the nose, the bouquet is centered on spicy notes of white pepper, alongside hints of ripe strawberries and a delicate floral touch.

On the palate, vivacity takes the spotlight. Despite its apparent lightness, the Pelaverga di Verduno offers a pleasantly surprising structure, with soft tannins and well-balanced acidity that invites another sip. The finish is fresh and persistent, with a return of the spicy notes detected on the nose.

Sordo, a historic winery with deep roots in Piedmontese winemaking tradition, produces this Pelaverga di Verduno DOC with respect for the environment and a focus on quality and the expression of the terroir. This wine pairs beautifully with light appetizers, mushroom-based dishes, or even as an aperitif.

Choosing Sordo’s Pelaverga di Verduno means immersing yourself in a realm of pleasure and sophistication, exploring a grape variety that is a true rare gem among the vast Italian varieties. Ideal for those seeking a wine that is out of the ordinary, capable of telling the story and passion of its producers.
