Have you ever heard of the grape Pelaverga?

Burlotto Pelaverga

Pelaverga is a very special grape that is indigenous to Verduno in Piemonte. There are not that many winemakers that make wine with the pelaverga grape (I don’t think I have tried any other pelaverga wines) but I really like the one Burlotto makes.
