"One of the most beguiling and seductive reds you’ll have the pleasure of tasting, Il Goccetto prominently features Piemonte’s native Brachetto grape. Typically used for sweet sparkling reds labeled Brachetto d’Acqui or Birbèt, Brachetto is vinified completely dry for this bottling, capturing all the grape’s enticing aromatics in the form of a table wine unlike any other. Rose petals and wild strawberries come to mind, counterbalanced by a gentle bitterness that renders it incredibly food-friendly. With little tannin, it should be served cool and uncorked on any and all occasions."
