Fratelli Alessandria 2024 Verduno Pelaverga Speziale 750ml

The 2024 Verduno Pelaverga Speziale pours a clear ruby color and gives off a gorgeous floral perfume in this vintage, with vibrant aromatics of cranberries, orange pith, salty earth, and white pepper. Medium-bodied, it’s lean yet energetic and focused on the palate with refreshing acidity and good length. It’s a sprightly expression of Pelaverga that should drink beautifully over the coming 4-6 years. 27,000 bottles produced. Drink 2026-2032.
