Dark Red Semi Sweet

Piedmont, Italy

NECTAR WINE STYLE

This deep red wine has an abundance of red fruit aromas, with wild berry notes lifted by its crisp acidity. Sweet aromas of ripe red fruits that demonstrate the hallmark of the Brachetto grape. Made with 100% natural fruit and gluten free.

WINE DETAILS:

  • Analysis: 5% alcohol / volume
  • Varietal: 95% Brachetto, 5% Blueberry & Raspberry fruit infused
  • Appellation: Piedmont, Italy
  • Serving Hints: Serve slightly chilled on its own or with antipastos, prosciutto, fish and white meats

WineStyles’ Wine and Cheese Pairing: Pair with a blue cheese such as a gorgonzola. Learn more about our wine and cheese pairings here.

Winemaker Notes:
Basic Brachetto is playfully fizzy with two atmospheres of pressure & is known for having low alcohol at 5.0%, a natural range of sweetness. After fermentation, the residual sugar remains relatively high, making the wines sweeter than dry wines. Because the extra sugar stops fermentation early, non-fortified sweet reds tend to be lower in alcohol than dry wines.
