This Brachetto d’Acqui is made from Brachetto, one of italy’s most interesting grape varieties. It can be made in a variety of styles, but Contero make theirs as a slightly sparkling red. Pale cherry in colour and reminiscent of wild strawberries and crushed rose petals, this wine is a delight. The flavour is sweet and aromatic, with violets, bitter cherries and red summer fruit on the palate, and a slightly dry finish. The 11 hectare estate is owned by the Marenco family who bought it in 2004. They are, as natives of Strevi, committed to upholding the quality ethos originally established by the Lombardini family. The vineyards, in the heart of Strevi, are situated in one of the best zones for Brachetto and Moscato in Piemonte. They are superbly tended, producing fruit of stunning quality, the character of which is retained in the bottle by the Marenco family. (6 x 75 cl)
