Rating: 3.0/5

The Verduno Pelaverga 2024 presents a youthful ruby colour with medium colour intensity and clear clarity. Ripe red fruit aromas of raspberry dominate the nose, complemented by subtle tobacco hints. On the palate, this medium-bodied wine offers fine-grained tannins, crisp acidity, and a balanced feel, with flavours of strawberry and red currant showing moderate complexity and dry sweetness. The finish is medium in length, leaving a smooth leather impression.
