GRAPE VARIETY: 100% Brachetto
ORIGIN: Strevi, Pineto Vineyard. South-facing amphitheater exposure, white, sandy, marly soils.
VINIFICATION: Carefully selected and hand-picked grapes. After pressing, maceration on the skins occurs for 2-3 days to extract color and aromas. The skinless must is then clarified and aged in steel tanks at 0°C. Alcoholic fermentation then takes place, stopped at 5°C by filtration.
CHARACTERISTICS: Color: Medium-intense ruby red tending towards rosé. Delicate aroma, with hints of rose, raspberry
and red fruit. Sweet and smooth palate, fresh, with a persistent foam.
PAIRINGS: Strawberries, berries, chocolate desserts, and fruit tarts. Also worth trying with spicy, oriental foods and cured meats.
STORAGE AND SERVING
Store the bottle upright in a cool, dark place. Open and serve at 8°-10°C in medium-sized glasses.
