Nose: strong cherry and deep earthy floral notes (bottle says rose petal, and I would agree).
Palate: Off-dry sweetness, Medium acidity, light body but heavy mouthfeel with the sugar. Bubbles are light and creamy but short-lived. Dried cherry/cranberry up front, with a floral and tart finish (reminding me of cherry fruit roll ups from when I was a kid).
This is definitely a more nicely crafted Brachetto than some of the cheaper ones out there, and a fun wine to introduce new wine drinkers. I've had other Brachettos that are like wine soda; this one is a true wine.

Pop and pour with brunch dessert. Not super fresh, but more nuanced. Just delicious and a real crowd pleaser.

Fun and refreshing but still shows nice, bright red fruit flavors. Need to buy more for brachetto for the summer.

Juicy strawberry and cherry flavors with a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. Lightly carbonated. I dig it.

Same as my last note. Worked very well with a lingonberry pannacotta.
