Pelaverga is a red wine grape variety that is grown in the Piedmont region of Italy. It is a minor variety, with limited plantings, but is known for producing light-bodied, spicy wines with bright acidity and a distinct, peppery character.

Notable regions

The Pelaverga grape is primarily found in the north-western regions of Piedmont and the Valle d'Aosta in Italy. It is particularly notable in the wines of the Cuneo province in Piedmont where it features in the blends of the Verduno Pelaverga and Colline Saluzzesi DOCs.

Characteristics

Pelaverga grapes are used to produce red wines with low tannin levels and high acidity. Pelaverga wines are known for their delicate and subtle aroma profile with hints of red fruit, such as raspberry and cherry. These wines are often enjoyed young and fresh due to their light body and bright acidity.
