## Summary

A partially fermented Brachetto must, described by the estate as born of its imagination and recalling the aromatic scents and fruity flavours of its hills.

## Tasting notes

Colour: intense rosé. Bouquet: fragrant and aromatic, with sharp hints of raspberries, cherries and strawberries. Taste: delicately sweet, fruity but not cloying thanks to an acidity well balanced with the residual sugar.

## Food pairings

Goes well with dry pastries and sweets based on fruit, cream and chocolate. Also pleasant as an aperitif and as a refreshing drink at any time of the day.
