Cantina Belcolle's Verduno Pelaverga DOC represents an authentic oenological rediscovery. A Piedmontese red wine that, after decades of oblivion, has won a place of honour among wine lovers for its original characteristics and unmistakable spicy aroma. Pelaverga Piccolo, an indigenous grape grown on the hills of Verduno, is characterised by crunchy, tasty berries that give the wine a brilliant light red colour with pink tones that tend towards orange with age. The vinification of Verduno Pelaverga DOC di Belcolle follows an accurate process that enhances the peculiarities of the vine. The grapes are destemmed and the must ferments in stainless steel tanks. Maceration, which lasts about 6-8 days, takes place with delicate pumping over to extract colour and tannins in a balanced manner. The wine then matures for 6 months on its lees, acquiring complexity and softness. The nose is characterised by an intense and fruity bouquet, with notes of red fruits, plums and cherries. These are complemented by characteristic spicy hints, such as white pepper, which give the wine a unique elegance and complexity. In the mouth, however, it is delicate and velvety, with a pleasant freshness that makes it balanced and easy to drink. The tannins are well integrated and the aromatic persistence is long and pleasant. It goes well with cured meats, first courses, red meats, grilled vegetables and mature cheeses. It enhances the flavours of Piedmontese cuisine and provides a unique sensory experience.
