  I didn’t care for this style. Might have been past drinking window, but was very woody for my taste.

  Made from 2.6ha of Pelaverga Piccolo (distinct from Pelaverga Grosso) in Verduno, unoaked, 14% ABV. Very light colour, pale strawberry; fresh but also slightly dusty nose of redcurrants and black pepper; supple attack, transparent, hint of cocoa, redcurrants and strawberries, almonds and roses, quite tannic (much more so than the 2013 tasted last year); light finish, slightly tea-like, good length. At pizzeria La Perla, Amsterdam, NL.

  Very fresh, easygoing wine. Very aromatic, red fruit (strawberry), tannins give a good grip.

  A simple wine that's probably over priced at $20. Taste more like Nebbiolo than Pelaverga. Light in body. Easy to drink, pleasing transparent garnet in a glass. Something that might rival a good Grignolino.

  Piedmont Trip, Day 1- Brezza, Fratelli Alessandria, Burlotto (Barolo, Piemont, Italy): Nose: The nose is highly aromatic and spicy with white pepper, dark red cherries, strawberries, and crushed rocks. While it lacks some depth, there is a lot of fun and intrigue on the nose.
  
  Taste: Medium bodied with medium+ acidity and medium+ tannins. The acidity is refreshing, but the tannins are a bit stalky. The feel is refined and easy going with white pepper, strawberries, crushed rocks, and spice notes.
  
  Overall: This is a fun and balanced wine. This was my first experience with Pelaverga and I really enjoyed it. It's a unique and intriguing wine that is well worth trying for something outside the box.
