Tasting notes
Piemonte doc Brachetto has a light purple colour and a nose of roses and geranium. The character, represented by the cat on the label, is proud but delicate, persistent.
In mouth it is very aromatic with scents of ripe fruit and strawberries jam. It has a good freshness, thanks to a good acidity and a right effervescence
