The grapes for "Divicaroli" are sourced from 30-year-old pelaverga vines. Pelaverga is characteristic of the area around the Alpine village of Saluzzo in Northwest Italy near the French border. Here it was long a staple in blends, but its importance shrank over time, until it nearly vanished in the 1970s. Today, careful site selection and pruning are bringing about a small and welcome renaissance for the grape. Its peppery, high-toned freshness, and delicate floral and herbaceous notes are quintessentially Alpine.
