While famous for their classic Nebbiolos, the Vittore Alessandria family is equally revered as the primary champions of Pelaverga Piccolo, an ancient, rare native red grape grown almost exclusively in Verduno. Farmed organically on white limestone and marl soils, \"Speziale\" showcases this rare variety's naturally aromatic, spice-driven personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 vintage captures Pelaverga at its most energetic.
