The Alasia Brachetto d’Acqui is a classic Piemontese wine made from the local Brachetto grape, producing a fragrant, lightly sparkling sweet red with irresistible charm. Bright, juicy and aromatic, it is one of Italy’s most distinctive wines – a perfect choice for relaxed summer drinking or pairing with fruit-based desserts.

Meet the Producer

Produced by Araldica Castelvero, one of Piemonte’s most forward-thinking co-operatives based in Castel Boglione at the heart of Barbera d’Asti, this Brachetto showcases the winery’s dedication to both tradition and quality.

Production

The grapes are sourced from vineyards in the Monferrato hills of southern Asti province, grown on limestone clay soils at altitudes of 250–400m. Vines average 20 years of age and are trained using the low Guyot system. Grapes are hand-harvested in late August, then chilled and macerated on skins for 2–3 days before pressing. Fermentation takes place in pressurised tanks and is halted early, leaving natural sweetness at 5.5% ABV with around 100g/l residual sugar.

Tasting Notes

The Alasia Brachetto d’Acqui is bright and aromatic, with lifted notes of fresh raspberries, violets and dried rose petals. The palate is juicy, lightly sparkling and bursting with red berry and grape fruitiness. Sweetness is perfectly balanced by refreshing acidity, leading to a delicate, fragrant finish.

Food Pairing

This wine is a delightful aperitif and ideal for summer afternoons. It pairs beautifully with fresh fruit salads and makes a perfect partner for light desserts.
