2023 Castello di Verduno Basadone (PRE-ARRIVAL ONLY)

Pre-arrival price only, wine will be $79 when landed likely November. 

100% Pelaverga from a producer considered the benchmark for this variety in Piedmont.

Cracked white pepper & graphite spice on the nose. Delicate red fruits of strawberry & a little raspberry punctuated by fine silky tannins.  This is what Pelaverga is all about. It’s an all year round kind of red & super lunch wine with its light body. Pinot & Red Burgundy lovers should be all over this. 

92 Points, Stephen Blandford (Huon Hooke) The Real Review - "Crystalline pale ruby colour. The bouquet is subtle and more complex, strawberry fruit, some pomegranate with delicate floral lift and just a hint of sweet spice, quite alluring. In the mouth there is a lovely balance of tangy fruit and powdery texture with discreet spicy notes and a brief pinch of tannin on the lingering, almond tinged finish. This is a more layered version of pelaverga and a delicious wine to boot."
