2024 Braida Brachetto D'Acqui DOCG Half Bottle 375ml, Piedmont

Braida Brachetto d’Acqui DOCG Half Bottle 375ml from Piedmont is a beautifully fragrant, gently sparkling red dessert wine that charms from the first sip with its rose-scented perfume, light sweetness, and refreshing sparkle. Made by the Bologna family—legendary custodians of Piedmontese tradition—this Brachetto is a joyful celebration of fruit, florals, and finesse, all in a perfectly sized 375ml bottle ideal for sharing or indulging solo.

Brachetto is a native Piedmontese variety known for producing aromatic, low alcohol red wines with natural effervescence and a delicate sweetness. Braida’s version is grown in the heart of the Brachetto d’Acqui DOCG zone, where limestone and clay soils help retain freshness and aromatic complexity. As with all their wines, the Bologna family treats this cuvée with the same care and precision as their iconic reds—resulting in a wine that’s as refined as it is fun.

Fermentation is carried out at low temperatures in pressurised tanks to preserve the grape’s natural perfume and light sparkle. The process is halted early to retain residual sugar and keep alcohol low (typically around 5.5 percent), giving the wine its signature lightness and bright, juicy character.

In the glass, it glows ruby red with aromas of fresh strawberries, rose petals, pomegranate, and a touch of sweet spice. The palate is softly fizzy, gently sweet, and delightfully refreshing with red berry fruit, floral highlights, and a clean, crisp finish that avoids any cloying weight.

Perfect with chocolate desserts, berry tarts, soft cheeses, or even sipped on its own as an afternoon treat, Braida’s Brachetto d’Acqui is pure, playful Piedmont in a glass.
