Fratelli Alessandria Verduno Pelaverga Speziale 2014

Alessandria, Piedmont, ItalyIncredible fragrant pink peppercorn spicing opens this 100 percent pelaverga, a unique wine produced only in the Piedmont commune of Verduno from the indigenous pelaverga piccolo grape. Light crimson in hue, this fresh, brisk red charms with wild strawberry, cranberry and wild flowers, swirled with the fragrant pink, white and black peppercorn spicing. Tannins light and raspy and acidity is bright, welcoming pouring with prosciutto. Though really, a light red like this is a joy to open and drink by itself.Tasted: 26 March 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
