Cocchi Brachetto d'Acqui DOCG from the Upper Monferrato hills of Piedmont — cherry red with a joyful foam, a vibrant and stylish bouquet with an intense scent of rose, gently tannic with a pleasant persistence, the most characteristic of sweet red sparkling wines from Acqui Terme, the historic terroir of choice for this aromatic indigenous variety.
Tasting Notes
Cherry red with light notes and a joyful foam. Vibrant, fresh, and stylish bouquet with an intense scent of rose on the nose. Gentle, slightly tannic on the palate to balance the sweet aroma and grant a pleasant persistence. Brachetto d'Acqui is one of Piedmont's most historic and distinctive wines — a sweet, fragrant, lightly sparkling red from the indigenous Brachetto grape, grown on the rolling hills of the Upper Monferrato since antiquity.
