A sweet red from Italy.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Showing black fruits with chocolate notes and sugar 😊

Not my style, but good enough for parties.

Better when properly chilled.

5.5% alcohol by volume.

Light ruby hue with low saturation. Aromas and flavors of plum, raspberry, and strawberry. Light body; low tannins; and medium acidity. Semi-sweet and lightly carbonated. Very soft, easygoing, and refreshing sparkling red. Made mostly from Brachetto grapes.

Labeled semi-sweet but perfectly sweet for me! Lightly fizzy and easy to drink!
