    March 12, 2021 - Pale ruby color. Very spicy and floral as one can expect from a Brachetto. Fun and rather unique aroma profile. Light to medium bodied with a lovely vibrant acidity. Almost no tannins at all and lots of sappy red fruits along with those floral and spicy elements.

    Very good intensity to the flavors and has a good depth that makes the wine more than just a fun and refreshing wine. Brachetto in a dry style seems to be just as good as the sweet ones. Great value for the 13 euro I paid.

    November 10, 2020 - Raspberry, minerals on the nose. Tasted fruit forward with some strawberry candy flavor mixed in. Needs to decant a bit for sure. The tannins once softened are delightful.

    April 16, 2020 - Fruity and very fresh. Super fun and fresh on the nose but more seriousness on the palate. More bitter attack if you will.

    December 4, 2019 - Light red from a renowned producer from northern Italy. would like to see more wine made in this style. Reminiscent of Beajolais, but with more tannic bite on the finish. Good value.

    November 24, 2019 - Pale strawberry color. Alcohol was 12.5%. Light bodied, and it went well at the start of a meal at a Turkish restaurant. If could cross a Beaujolais and a Dolcetto, I imagine this is what I would get.
