"Good very full red. Sappy, deep aromas and flavours of red and dark berries and spicy, tarry herbs, with a hint of violet and quinine. Bigger and stonier than most Pelaverga Piccolo wines I tasted this year, but also comes more elegant and suave than most. A denser Pelaverga Piccolo wine than many, but you can hardly tell that this clocks in at 14% alcohol and is further freshened by nicely harmonious saline acidity. Planted in 1995, 2008 and 2018 with northwest to southeast exposures, between 220-260 meters above sea level, Morra is one of the largest landowners of Pelaverga vines at 2.2 hectares. The winery makes about 15,000 bottles/year, all stainless steel fermented and aged, with the clearcut aim being of enhancing and protecting the wine’s inherent freshness and aromatic qualities." - 93 Points by Ian D'Agata
Diego Morra Description
The predominant characteristic of the varietal is the richness of the perfumes: a jubilee of spices that delicately alter leaving plenty of room for warm, intense, encompassing notes of pepper.
