It’s classic Pelaverga, spicy and red fruited. Juicy strawberry finish of good length. Nice - Gary Walsh

Description

Cantina Bel Colle is located a few minutes out of Verduno in a spectacular panoramic position on the hills of Langhe. The winery cultivates 10 hectares of vineyards across Barolo, Roero, Barbaresco, the Langhe Hills and the area around Asti. Bel Colle's vineyards include three prestigious crus (MGAs); Monvigliero and Bussia in Barolo and Pajorè in Barbaresco. Belle Colle is also the largest producer in Piedmont of Verduno Pelaverga.

Verduno Pelaverga is both a cult wine and a rarity - only 200,000 bottles were produced in 2022 and only nineteen wineries make the wine. The wine is made from the rare Pelaverga Piccolo grape. The Verduno Pelaverga production area is confined to just over thirty hectares in Piedmont - slightly more than 25 are in Verduno, 4 hectares are in Roddi and 1.6 hectares are in La Morra. The wine's success is well-deserved, as it is one of Italy’s most exciting and enjoyable red wines. A favourite of mine, Verduno Pelaverga is a beautifully aromatic wine that strikes me as a cross between a Nebbiolo and a Pinot Noir.

"Ah, Pelaverga, I love it. One whiff and I'm hooked. So aromatic, all strawberries and white pepper. Delicious, juicy, red fruits. Just so very easy to drink.Nick Munday

Wine region map of Italy

Italy

There are 16 major Italian wine regions, each known for their own unique grape varieties, terroir and wines. They are Abruzzo, Basilicata, Campania, Emilia-Romagna, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Lazio, Le Marche, Lombardy, Piedmont, Puglia, Sardinia, Sicily, Trentin-Alto Adige, Tuscany, Umbria and Veneto.

Italy was the leading producer of wine in the world in 2020, with more than half the production coming from the four regions of Veneto, Apulia, Emilia-Romagna and Sicily. More than 400 grape varieties are grown across the country’s wine regions, most of which are indigenous.

Italy's most esteemed wine regions are Piedmont, home to Barolo and Barbaresco, Tuscany, home to Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, and Veneto, home to Soave, Prosecco and Amarone.

Italian wine is labelled by wine region or appellation rather than by grape variety. In order to guarantee the quality and provenance of Italian wines, the government established an appellation quality system. Wines with a regional designation are classified as IGT, DOC or DOCG. There are currently 330 DOC appellations in Italy, but it is a number that is expected to grow rapidly in the coming years. The region with the biggest number of DOCs is Piedmont with 42. To date, there are 77 DOCG appellations in Italy and the region with the biggest number of DOCGs is Piedmont with 16.
