Verduno, “sentinel of the Langhe”: the village emerges neatly from a wave of vineyards and woods, perched 381 metres above sea level, with its bell tower clearly visible above the ridge of the hill. A magical and silent place, with just under 600 inhabitants. From the Belvedere, surrounded by linden and horse chestnut trees, vineyards stretch as far as the eye can see, framed by the backdrop of the Alps, which mark the boundary of this picture-postcard landscape.
Verduno is an interesting cultural and oenological microcosm, where producers with a long tradition behind them and young entrepreneurs alike have been consolidating a collective growth in production for several years now, with a significant increase in overall quality, in the number of wineries, in the labels on offer and in investments in the territory.
A feud of Nebbiolo and of different expressions of Barolo, including a contemporary and elegant Barolo of the Monvigliero Mention (MGA), Verduno is working hard to strengthen and enhance the historical link with the wine made from the Pelaverga Piccolo grape, one of the native varieties saved from extinction after World War II, capable of encapsulating and narrating the characteristics of the area.
