NV Viticoltori Acquesi Brachetto d'Acqui Vino Spumante Dolce, Italy, Piedmont, Wine Review
This is a sweet red sparkling wine from northwest Italy. Low in alcohol (6.5%) and high in fun. It is made from 100% Brachetto grapes. Maroon in color, frothy, clear and bright. The nose is interesting with tomato paste, red peppers, tomato vine and some raspberries. Easy to drink. Sweet and tasty. On the palate, cherries and sour cherries. Not too different than the Faygo Red Pop of my youth. Refreshing. Long finish. This drinks nice on its own and will work with cheeses and perhaps a not too sweet chocolate dessert. Drink now. This bottle was Lot L211955.
