Product Notes

The Contero Brachetto d'Acqui is a distinctly Italian wine, characteristic of the Piedmont region. This delicately semi-sparkling red wine is exquisite in its rich bouquet of rose petals and strawberries. On the palate, its subtly sweet, yet harmonious taste is truly satisfying. The ruby-red hue, almost pink effervescence and low alcohol content enhance its drinkability. A delightful dessert wine, Contero Brachetto d'Acqui is beautifully paired with light pastries or dark chocolate, making it a perfect choice for an indulgent afternoon or a festive celebration. One can truly savour Italy's finest in each sip.

Tasting Notes

This wine is delicate ruby red in colour. The rich, persistent mousse is accompanied by bright aromas of roses and raspberries. The slightly sweet, aromatic palate has a typical bittersweet note on the finish.
