Community Tasting Note

  January 5, 2019 - Pelavergas at Trattoria dai Bercau (Verduno): Labelled as Cascina Massara – Giancarlo Burlotto. I preferred the Burlotto over the Bel Colle. It seemed a very traditionally made – not messed around with - Pelaverga. It was also closer in quality to the Alessandria, I thought. Also served chilled. Darker, richer fruit on the bouquet: blackcurrants and plums, with spices and herbs. On entry to the palate, racy acidity. Good minerality. Smooth, silky tannins. A lighter bodied wine. The 14.5% alcohol on the label came as a real surprise (I would have guessed much lower).
