Matteo Ascheri Verduno Pelaverga 2025

IMPORTER NOTES:

TASTING: "Pelaverga is a rare, red grape variety native to the hills of Piedmont in northwestern Italy, particularly the Verduno area. Light ruby red in color, with an elegant bouquet of red berries and flowers. It offers spicy, velvety notes of black pepper, creating a delicate, harmonious, and pleasantly soft experience. This charming wine is easy to drink and showcases great balance and typicity."

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: “The Azienda Agricola Giacomo Ascheri originated in the early 19th Century in La Morra, a picturesque little hilltop town founded in the 12th Century. Early on, the family developed a vine cultivation method considered innovative for its time. In 1880, they moved the winery to the nearby town of Bra, a more convenient distribution location. Both Bra and La Morra are in the Langhe area of northern Italy’s Piedmont region, about 60 Km south of Turin. This area produces some of Italy’s best wines.”

WINEMAKING: "Matteo Ascheri and his son, Giuseppe, subscribe to the winemaking philosophy of non-intervention, using technology in moderation and aging the wine in large casks. Their goal is to capture the most faithful expression of the vineyard, with respect to the wine’s elegance, finesse, natural concentration, and balance."
