I’ve just tried the Burlotto – not a grape I’ve come across before here in Australia. Quite unlike anything I’ve tried before too!

I have to object to the “drink like a hipster” designation here. Hipsters, as we know, drink little more than Pabst Blue Ribbon. Sure, they might venture into craft spirits or artisanal Swartzbiers briefly, but they’ll retreat en masse as soon as they sniff mainstream appeal. As a wine from the very popular Piedmont region, I very much doubt that Pelaverga is ironic enough for the hipster crowd. Almaden Burgundy-in-a-box is the altogether more appropriate choice.

LOVE Pelaverga! Another great producer is Castello de Verduno. They do a traditional still red and I believe the only en Bianco version as well as the only sparkling Rose version. all outstanding. Love the Burlotto version BTW!

F.lli Alessandria 2007 and Antonio Brero 2007: two delicious Pelavergas I recall.
Nice grape indeed.

I love Perlaverga although few would call me a hipster. Definitely a grape and wines worth remembering.Domenico Valentino importers have done a lot to promote this grape variety, a service in my opinion.
