RARE GRAPE VARIETAL RESOURCE

Pelaverga (often known as Pelaverga Piccolo) is a rare red grape from the hills of Piedmont in northwestern Italy.

Pelaverga has two last bastions in the Verduno Pelaverga and Colline Saluzzesi DOCs of Piedmont's Cuneo province. Here it is used to make light-colored wines with a distinctive strawberry aroma often found at the fruitier, more fragrant end of the Pinot Noir spectrum. These are often made as sparkling wines and reveal an alternative, rather light-hearted side of Piedmontese wine. The net effect of this is that finding wines made from this endangered Piedmontese oddity is particularly challenging.
