Brachetto D’Acqui | Local Wine Appellation From Province of Alessandria, Italy | TasteAtlas

Brachetto d’Acqui

Brachetto d’Acqui is an Italian appellation located in Piedmont, in the provinces of Asti and Alessandria. All the wines are produced with the local Brachetto grape, and they come in several styles, including still red wine that can be lightly fizzy, as well as sparkling spumante version and the subtly sweet passito style.


The predominant style is a light-bodied ruby red wine that usually displays floral and fruity aromas reminiscent of roses, strawberries, and raspberries. These wines are best enjoyed young, and they are usually paired with appetizers or desserts, but they also make an excellent aperitif and can also be used as an ingredient in long drinks.
