2024 Gian Luca Colombo Verduno Pelaverga

Grape: 100% Pelaverga Piccolo (Verduno Pelaverga)

Discover an aromatic, rare red, one of Piedmont’s most little-known treasures. 

From biodynamically farmed vineyards around Verduno and Roddi, this wine was spontaneous fermented, followed by skin contact for 20–30 days. Wine is aged in clay amphora or terracotta for several months. No fining. No filtration.

Tasting notes: bright cranberry and raspberry fruits, with fresh herbal tones and a distinctive white-pepper spice. Delicate notes of rose and lavender weave through the bouquet. The palate is light to medium in body, with lively acidity and smooth tannins lending vibrancy. This wine is ideal with lighter meats, charcuterie, grilled vegetables or summer dishes.

Because production in Verduno is tiny and parcels are limited, wines like this remain rare... an intrinsic part of their appeal!
