Banfi Rosa Regale Brachetto d'Acqui (pack of 3) (18.7cl, 7%)

A lightly sparkling, semi-sweet red wine from Piedmont, Italy, made from 100% Brachetto grapes grown at the La Rosa Vineyard in Acqui Terme. The grapes receive brief skin contact before Charmat-process fermentation in stainless-steel vats, with fermentation halted at 7% alcohol to preserve natural grape sugar. After filtration and cold storage, the wine undergoes refermentation and isobaric bottling to retain its delicate effervescence. It is bottled in three 187ml single-serve bottles. The 2023 vintage is part of the range. Fresh crushed strawberries lead into ripe raspberry and blueberry, with rose petals on the nose. The palate is soft and gently sweet, with bright raspberry fruit and fine bubbles, balanced by cranberry-like acidity. The finish is clean and nearly dry, with candied rose and fresh berry.
