Diego Morra, Verduno Pelaverga, Barolo, Piedmont, Italy 2023

100% Pelaverga Piccolo

This is a wine with great olfactory richness: strawberry and raspberry fruit complemented by spicy notes, in particular very marked accents of white pepper.

A highly versatile wine, this Pelaverga goes well with cured meats and aged cheeses, and with traditional first and second courses.

Fermentation and maceration in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks for 4 months before bottling.  It then remains in bottle for at least 2 months prior to release.

The Diego Morra family is on its third generation of winegrowers. The vineyards are the true heritage of Diego Morra. Located in the finest portions of Verduno, La Morra, and Roddi, they are mostly planted with Nebbiolo, however they do also grow other typical regional varieties: Dolcetto, Barbera, and Verduno’s unique Pelaverga.

Each vineyard is tended meticulously. The team uses a pruning system that is aimed at limiting grape yields, as well as an organic system of fertilizing the vineyards aimed at maintaining soil health, applying the principles of integrated vineyard management to combat pests and diseases.
