The Italian Pelaverga grape produces light red, soft wines with a refined aroma and a slightly peppery strawberry flavor.
The Pelaverga grows in the Northern Italian region of Piedmont, near Turin. There, it has traditionally been both eaten and drunk. Pelaverga is often blended with other grapes from the region, such as Barbera and Nebbiolo. Only the Collina Torinese DOC may be made from Pelaverga alone.
There is also a Pelaverga Piccolo, or a 'small Pelaverga'. This also grows in Piedmont, but it is a different grape from the 'ordinary' Pelaverga, as DNA research in the early 1990s revealed. This Pelaverga Piccolo grows further south, near Verduno, where it has its own Verduno Pelaverga DOC appellation.
We currently have one wine made from the Pelaverga grape in our range. You can view our Pelaverga wine here.
