Very Good++ I really liked this zippy medium-light bodied wine. On PnP it showed a bit of a wild nose and even hinted at vinegar, but the wine's acid worked great and that nose was more akin to fine sherry vinegar and didn't indicate spoilage or flaw. Underripe strawberry, tart cherry, crushed herbs. I wanted a wine for pierogies and found a winner!
A couple of nights later the ~1/3 bottle still drank well, maybe even better, then showing some smoke along with raspberry and bramble.

Pelaverga is a rare grape from Piedmont, typically made in a light, fruity style. Organic farming. Fermented and aged for 9 months in stainless steel. Light in color. Fruity red fruit wine. Light, soft tannins. Sort of a light Barbera. Probably better slightly chilled.

My first pelaverga. Very nice and interesting mix between a pinot and a schiava

Very lightly fruited on the nose, quite slight; cherry fruit, a little rustic, not unlike a Pais in some ways. A bit mean.

Bought at the winery. Very impressive example of this grape. Light in style but with enough substance to be interesting.
