Community Tasting Note

84 Points

Thursday, August 20, 2020 - Quest to complete my tasting of all DOCG of Italy; 6/5/2020-8/31/2020 (Home in NL and holiday home in Maremma / Italy): I’ve recently published a few notes that might seem a bit like Brachetto-bashing. But most of them are imo simply not worth of the label ‘wine’. This one is a bit more convincing in that respect.
And very different from the NV one I had a few weeks back.

Light red/pink colour. Cherry and raspberry aromas with some cinnamon. Sweet and fresh on the palate with some light tannins and just enough acidity to keep it from getting boring.
One of the better efforts I’ve encountered among the various Brachetto I had over the past weeks. Although not nearly as good as the Marenco I had last week.
