G.B. Burlotto, Pelaverga, Verduno DOC, Italy 2025

If it is true that perfumes give us back the past intact, then this wine is a small time machine. It takes you back, far away, to an environment oriented to mysterious, vaporous shadows; the delicate outlines anticipate the supple oscillations of flavor; the indigo and purple reflections instill the thought of a new sip.

The harvest is carried out by hand, in order to preserve the integrity of the fruit. The bunches are de-stemmed and the must moved by gravity into open French oak vats and open stainless steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation takes place.

Malolactic fermentation and subsequent maturation in stainless steel tanks until late spring, when the wine is bottled. Some vintages get a short period of aging in large wooden barrels as well.

The Burlotto family winery was born in Verduno, a historic commune in Barolo, 170 years ago. Many things have changed since then, but not the basic ideals that have always guided the estate.
