Vigne Regali, Acqui (Piedmont, Italy) 2010

Mar 2, 2011

By Gerald D. Boyd

 This mildly fizzy sparkling wine made from Brachetto d’Acqui, a light red grape with subtle Moscato tones.  The color is a light ruby and the nose shows cranberry and raspberry notes with a candied back note.  Sweet and grapy, the fizzy flavors are balanced by good acidity and 7% alcohol.  This is a frothy fun wine that, unfortunately, comes in a very heavy clear fluted glass bottle.
