2024 Fratelli Alessandria Pelaverga Speziale
Secondary Description
Pelaverga Piccolo is a rare Italian grape variety grown in three villages of Barolo, Verduno, Roddi and La Morra. This example from Verduno is wonderfully fragrant, fresh roses and frozen raspberries, and very light in colour. The palate is delicately red fuited, with a savoury forest floor note in the background, finishing soft and supple. A very pretty wine which drinks very well lightly chilled... (JH 21/05/2026)

Monica Larner
The Fratelli Alessandria 2024 Verduno Pelaverga Speziale is a very light-colored red wine with a luminous, transparent appearance, reflecting the delicacy of this historic local variety cultivated in Verduno, one of the few places where Pelaverga Piccolo has long thrived. The bouquet is delicate and lifted, offering tart berry, blood orange, violet and a hint of freshly milled white pepper. It is lean, streamlined, fresh and incredibly enjoyable to drink, with a vibrant and playful character. Produced in 28,000 bottles, it is vinified entirely in stainless steel, with fruit sourced from seven vineyard sites totaling about three hectares around Verduno. 91 points

True to its name, the 2024 Pelaverga Speziato from Fratelli Alessandria is all about spice, with aromas and flavors of white pepper and pink peppercorn that accent strawberry and orange zest. Bright acidity and lithe tannins provide the easy-drinking framework. Chilled it make the perfect summer red. 93 points
