Description
Style of wine
Vietti's Verduno Pelaverga is a still red wine from Piedmont with a controlled designation of origin, made exclusively from Pelaverga Piccolo grapes and aged in ceramic. Originating from the Langhe, this wine is distinguished by its pale ruby colour enriched with delicate violet highlights. On the palate, it proves dry, fresh, and pleasantly smooth, characterised by a medium-light body and a delicate tannic texture. The tasting experience shines for its balance and sapidity, evolving towards a lingering and spicy finish in which clear notes of white pepper and hints of small red fruits stand out.
Provenance
Verduno Pelaverga is born in a limited production area of the Langhe, restricted to the municipality of Verduno and part of the territories of Roddi and La Morra. Vietti's vineyards, oriented to the south-east and south-west, are rooted in calcareous-clay soils with a significant sandy component. This particular terroir gives the wine a precise aromatic definition, releasing aromas of wild strawberry, crunchy cherry, pomegranate, rose, and violet, accompanied by slight citrus hints. This territorial expression enhances its natural gastronomic vocation, prioritising elegance and finesse over power.
How it is produced
After the September harvest, vinification involves a short maceration of about five days and fermentation in temperature-controlled steel tanks. Ageing continues for approximately four months in small ceramic containers, a fundamental technical choice to preserve the integrity and fragrance of the Pelaverga Piccolo grape variety without external interference. Served at the ideal temperature of 14°C, this wine represents an excellent gastronomic pairing for vitello tonnato, agnolotti, white meats, and delicate cured meats, proving surprising even when accompanied by grilled vegetables or savoury fish dishes.
History and trivia
Originating in the Langhe, Vietti’s Pelaverga Piccolo comes from small plots located between Verduno, Roddi and La Morra. To enhance its rare aromatic profile, the vinification in steel involves a short maceration of five days and a delicate ageing in ceramic for four months. This skilful artisanal choice preserves the vibrant freshness of the grape variety, excluding any influence of wood. Embellished with an artistic label, this elegant 2025 vegan red ensures a pure and harmonious tasting experience.
