PELAVERGA

A prestigious grape variety boasting an illustrious and perhaps slightly mysterious past. In the mid 1980s it began to become clear that there could be considerable difference between the pelaverga grown in Saluzzo and one grown in the Verduno area. In-depth research proved that this grape variety has unique ampelographic, agronomic and oenological characteristics, so unique as to make it a peculiar and completely different cultivar. It was given the name Pelaverga Piccolo at the beginning of the 1990s and the wine was awarded the DOC appellation in 1995
