2025 Fratelli Alessandria, Verduno Pelaverga Speziale

Fratelli Alessandria stewards their Pelaverga Piccolo with the same parcel-specific rigor they apply to their top-tier Barolo crus, treating the indigenous variety as a fundamental expression of Verduno’s heritage. The fruit is sourced from six distinct sites where vines are rooted in the silty, limestone-rich Sant’Agata fossil marls that define this northern enclave’s unique geologic signature. To prioritize the grape’s signature rotundone-driven spice and aromatic transparency, fermentation and aging occur entirely in stainless steel, ensuring the structural focus remains on the variety’s primary piquancy.
