2012 Pizzini King Valley Brachetto

The red variety Brachetto originally hails from the DOCG region of Brachetto d'Acqui in Piedmont, the grape used in making not only dry still reds but also rosés and sparkling wines similar to Lambrusco.  

One of the many wines from Pizzini's Italian range, the winery founded in 1994 is the only producer of this variety in Australia to date making this intriguing grape into a slightly sparkling wine. 


A light pink to an orange hue in colour. There's an intense bouquet of rose petal, strawberry and cherry that translates to a light-bodied frizzante wine. A pearl necklace of small beads rings the glass. What you swallow I can only describe is a bubbly fresh rose petal moscato. Creamy, gentle mouthfeel with a smooth fruity, rather than dry finish. 

Subtle and refreshing low alcohol drink. If you were ever wanting to start the day off on a different note, serve this chilled for breakfast.
