NV Cocchi Brachetto D'acqui DOCG Sparkling, Monferrato, Italy

Cocchi has produced since 1891, beginning with wine-based aperitifs and 100% Piedmontese sparkling wines following the best traditions of Asti area.

This extra special sweet sparkling lifts the spirit and fills the palate with flavor! Sweet ripe red fruits sweep the tastebuds with a joyful foam and an appealing rich cherry color. Lively and with a fresh and elegant bouquet, whose hallmark is an intense scent of roses. Its light tannins counterbalance the sweetness and offer a pleasant persistence with light effervescent nuances.

The most characteristic of sweet red sparkling wines, like the Brachetto d'Acqui (a wine from the same name as it's grape and region) have been a constant throughout the history of Piedmontese wine. It grows on the gently rolling hills of the Upper Monferrato area, and ever since antiquity Acqui Terme has been its terroir of choice, and a diverse one, where this aromatic varietal finds its best expression.

It is the perfect party wine. A young wine to be served chilled; it can be best presented in cup-shaped glasses with a garnish of wild berries.
