This is what good wine from the Pelaverga Piccolo grape tastes like

The Italian Pelaverga Piccolo grape produces light red, velvety wines with a somewhat perfumed aroma and a slightly peppery taste reminiscent of ripe small red fruits such as strawberries and raspberries.

The Pelaverga Piccolo grows in Piedmont. Various winemakers blend the Pelaverga Piccolo with Nebbiolo and/or Barbera. The Pelaverga Piccolo is rare. Not long ago, it was virtually extinct. It is thanks to a handful of passionate winemakers from Verduno that we can still drink wine made from it. In this small village, it has been granted its own Verduno Pelaverga DOC.

It is a bit confusing, but there is also a 'regular' Pelaverga. It also grows in Piedmont, but further north, near Turin. There, it has traditionally been both eaten and drunk. This Pelaverga is often blended with other grapes from the region as well.
