Technically, 'peperoncini' is the plural of 'peperoncino', which is Italian
for 'chile pepper' (any kind).  You are actually refering to 'peproncini
sotto aceto', which, as the name implies, are pickled in vinegar (usually a
2.5% solution, with some salt).

I don't know what type is specifically used off hand, but I can look the
next time I go to Italy, maybe Monday.
