Synonyms	Pelaverga di Verduno
Grape colour	Red grape
Variety	Autochthonous
Vigour	Good
Areas of cultivation	One of the red berries that can be defined with certainty as autochthonous, although the ancient origins are still uncertain. Its location is very limited, it includes the area of the municipality of Verduno and part of the communes of Roddi and La Morra, in the province of Cuneo, in the Langhe area. For a long time overlooked, he found new interest by some local wine growers around the '70s. It should not be confused with the Pelaverga, the largest acina and other features that differentiate it, located instead in the Saluzzese.
History	The Pelaverga small vine does not have very clear origins, although it appears to be originally in the Verduno area, in the Langhe, where it is still cultivated. It may have come here for centuries or come from the Saluzzese, but differences from the pelaverga of that area are remarkable, especially for the size of the acino, which is at the origin of the "little" agressive.
Ampelographic features	It has medium-large leaf, pentagonal, trilobate or rarely pentalobata; Medium-large bunch, conical or elongated pyramid, with one or more wings, one of which is long pedunculated, partially spatula (especially in the proximal part), long peduncle, lignified in the first section, with a pinkish greenish color; Medium-small, short-spheroidal, short-elliptical, with an abundantly covered wintry skin, with a blue-purple color with gray shades due to the presence of the wedge, has a pleasant taste of flesh. Production is medium-high but at alternating stages. It favors mixed-pruning counter-pond farming systems, dry hills and good exposure.
Characteristics of the wine obtained from this grape variety	It is sometimes blended with Nebbiolo and Barbera. Varietal wines tend to be light in colour, smooth and fruity, occasionally spicy with sweet red fruit notes also a little peppery and nicely fresh.
Notes	Recently it has been implanted for experimental and study purposes in the Grinzane Cavour area.
