WTN: 2013 Burlotto Verduno Pelaverga Piedmont.

This is a very nice wine, was sampled at a recent BBQ and I was hooked. Not sure of the price but what the heck! Went well with ribs, chicken wings and sausage.
Light red color, red fruit earthy nose, maybe cherry and hint of pepper.
Medium-bodied, good acidity, "rather juicy" was a comment. Very enjoyable, tough to really analyse with all the other wines I was trying . Unique grape eh.

Yup, Bob....a very interesting grape that makes very interesting wines.

Stuff from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. Pelaverga: This is a rather rare grape that is native, as best we can tell, to the Piemonte. I've only had
4-5 over the yrs. It produces a kinda lightish wine, not to different from Schiava, but generally not as
earthy/mineral as that AltoAdige wine. The strong black pepper character in this Burlotto is a character
I've never picked up before. This was probably the best Pelaverga I've yet tried. Not as profound a Piemonte
wine as Freisa or Brachetto; but quite nice in its own way. Probably something the hipster somms will, or
have already, glomm onto.
