Castello di Verduno
Basadone Verduno Pelaverga
Verduno, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
This is a wine from the Pelaverga grape, which I learned was almost extinct decades ago. Reminiscent of Pinot noir with bold contrasts of strawberries and floral notes and an edge of acid and bitters. Level and elegant and also easy to drink.

This is an excellent red that punches well above its weight. One note, but very enjoyable. Full bodied, sour cherries, with a satisfying tangy finish. Wonderful chilled.

Straight from the source, dinner @ Castello di Verduno. Delicious as always. Great acids, black pepper, flinty tannins, slate, tart red berry, slightly brambly. 06/08/2024
