Piemont, where the vines are nurtured

Piemont is a region where the earth guides the vines. The vineyards around Verduno are characterised by a clear, limestone-rich soil that supplies the grapes with salt and freshness. The Verduno location, at the border of Barolo, is one of the last places where Pelaverga still grows. This grape variety is ancient, yet it has taken root here in the landscape. The hills, winding in gentle waves around the villages, protect the vines from wind and cold. Piemont is known for its finesse, yet Pelaverga brings something special: it is like a shadow that reflects the sun.

The work that makes the wine

The production of the »Comm. G.B. Burlotto Verduno Pelaverga DOC 2022« begins with the careful selection of grapes. The berries are placed in small boxes to protect them. Maceration takes place in open wooden casks, where the must is stirred daily. Fermentation in stainless steel and French oak barrels creates the foundation for the aromas. After six months of bottle ageing, the wine continues to age in Slavonian and Allier barriques as well as in 500-litre wooden casks. Malolactic fermentation gives it a soft, fine-grained character. It is a process that demands time and precision.

Pairing that brings the wine to life

This wine pairs well with pasta dishes with sauce, spiced poultry and even light cheese. Its fresh acidity and mineral finish harmonise with the aromas of tomatoes, herbs and citrus. With warm dishes, it remains cooler; with cold dishes, it warms the mouth. It is a wine that does not push into the background, but shapes the moment. Its finesse is the perfect complement to simple, yet authentic dishes.

The bottle that carries the wine

The 0.75-litre wine bottle is a small but important part of the story. The label is white, with black, sans-serif text and a blue DOC band around the neck. On the left, a historical building emblem in grayscale underlines the tradition. The inscription „DOC“ highlights the Italian origin. The minimalist design gives the wine an elegant, authentic character. It is a label that does not only describe the wine, but also represents it.
