Diego Morra

Diego Morra’s Pelaverga di Verduno is a treasure—a Langhe insider’s wine and sommelier’s secret if we ever saw one. Nearly all the Pelaverga in the world is grown in this little Barolo township of Verduno, where it’s a labor of love for families like the Morras, rendering wines perfumed with pretty red fruits and alpine herbs. Incredibly juicy and versatile at the table, it’s a great wine to pour for Italophile friends who think they’ve tasted it all.

Medium ruby color. White pepper and fresh raspberries burst from the glass with dark cherry, pine needles, and orange peel. The body is moderate and easy to drink, with bright red fruit and a mix of pine needles, pink peppercorns, and crushed granite. The finish is as lively as the nose with cranberry and spice. A perfect wine for a caprese salad, smoked trout, or BBQ chicken. The wine is as unique as it is versatile.
