For wine lovers seeking something genuinely off the beaten path, this captivating bottle showcases the rare, indigenous Pelaverga Piccolo grape handled by the visionary team at Cascina Penna Currado. Grown on the elite rolling ridges of Verduno in Piedmont, this bright, light bodied red skips post fermentation maceration entirely to preserve its pure, highly idiosyncratic varietal personality. The nose is a wild explosion of crushed strawberries, rose petals, and that signature, unmistakable pop of cracked white pepper that makes the variety so famous. It is an incredibly fragrant, ethereal, and joyous bottle to serve with a light chill alongside charcuterie, rosemary focaccia, or casual weeknight pasta dishes.
