- Brachetto del Piemonte
Red
An aromatic red grape versatile for both sparkling and still wines.
While it enjoyed popularity during the 1960s and 1970s, its recognized grand cru is Acqui Terme.
Often confused with Brachetto Noir, it ripens early and typically yields average to low quantities, making it highly vulnerable to viruses.
This wine captivates the senses with its enchanting aromatic profile and gracefully light-bodied character. It offers a delightful array of flavors, starting with the tartness of fresh red cherries, which provides a vibrant and invigorating sensation on the palate. Complementing this are the sweet, juicy notes of ripe raspberries, adding a touch of lusciousness to the overall taste experience.
Further enhancing the complexity of this wine are the subtle hints of cinnamon and nutmeg, which introduce a warm and inviting spiciness. These delicate spice notes weave through the fruit flavors, creating a harmonious and well-rounded profile that is both intriguing and satisfying. Each sip of this wine is a journey through its layered and nuanced composition, making it a truly delightful choice for any occasion.
