Piemonte | Italy

Fragrant and seductive, this Piemonte classic offers a lightly fizzy character with aromas of crushed raspberries and rose petals.

About the Producer

The Brachetto variety is grown in large quantities in Italy, in particular in Piemonte. The Brachetto vine is delicate, giving low yields from which sweet red wines with the colour and flavour of strawberries are produced. The grapes for Alasia Brachetto d’Acqui are sourced from vineyards in the Monferrato hills in the south of the province of Asti. The vines have an average age of 20 years and are grown using the low Guyot trellis system. Soil is limestone clay. The grapes are hand harvested toward the end of August. Fermentation is halted to leave 5.5% ABV and approximately 100g/l residual sugar.

Food Pairing

Great aperitif, and perfect for a summers’ afternoon drinking. The ideal match for fresh fruit salads.
