Burlotto 2023 Verduno Pelaverga 750ml

The 2023 Verduno Pelaverga is a lovely vintage that shows off the snappy, spicy notes of Pelaverga, with white pepper, fresh pomegranate, strawberry, fresh tarragon, and rocky earth. Medium-framed and light on its feet, without ever feeling austere, it has a silky texture and a bit of chalky saltiness on the finish. I enjoy this vintage quite a bit and fans of these wines should not miss this one. Drink over the next 5-6 years.
