Birbèt Mosto d'Uva Parzialmente Fermentato Rosso Brachetto
Omg... I'm not gonna lie - I drank the whole bottle like it was Kool-Aid! It was sooooooooooooo GOOD! Big ol' ripe, black Bing cherries & blackberries... much residual sugar but such a nice finish! Definitely for sweet wine lovers only. Birbet is great as a dessert wine or with some light, fluffy, chocolate cake. It's not quite as full & deep as a Grenache-based Banyuls of course, but certainly delicious & about half the price of a Banyuls. Absolutely DEEEEEEEE-licious!

Sweet, slightly fizzy. Wonderful dessert wine
Jan 27th, 2016Fresh raspberries, strawberry compote, slight white pepper. Minimal acid, fizzy texture, featherweight body, dry fruity finish. Fun, fruity, frizzante. Equally great with charcuterie or fruity desserts, or on its own. Highly enjoyable.

Oct 9th, 2016So I got caught up in the review of this wine I forgot I was searching for a Malbec. My first impressions reflected that. I find it hard to describe this in wine terms because honestly I've had fruit juices with more complexity. Be that as it may after a good chill and a second glass I grew fond of this little naturally carbonated gem. The residual sugars are really strong. If you or a friend doesn't like the body of most Reds this is a good introduction...although so is Welch's grape juice. Also at 5% this isn't a showstopper so go search for your thrills elsewhere.
