More stiberflot from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. Pelaverga is a very rare grape native to the Piemonte, whose last redoubt is Verduno Pelaverga and Colline Saluzzesi DOCs of Piedmont's Cuneo province. The plantings of Pelaverga are dropping and it may not be with us much longer. A bit pricey for just another pretty face.
