Piemonte Guasti Clemente Brachetto d'Acqui DOCG | 75 cl Brachetto is an aromatic red Italian wine grape variety grown predominantly in the Piedmont region of northwest Italy. At one time the grape was thought to be related to the French wine grape Braquet, but recent thought among ampelographers is that the two are distinct varieties. In Italy’s region of Piedmont the grape is somewhat more widespread: production mostly falling within an area of the provinces of Asti and Alessandria between the rivers Bormida and Belbo plus various parts of the province of Cuneo. The most notable wine here is the red Brachetto d'Acqui Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) which is mainly known in the fully sparkling version. DENOMINATION: Brachetto d'Acqui DOCG GRAPES: 100% Brachetto REGION: Vineyards are situated in the area of Mombaruzzo. SOIL COMPOSITION: Chalky and clay soil. VINE TRAINING SYSTEM: Simple Guyot HARVEST: Manual harvest of the grapes between the end of August and the beginning of September. PRESSING: Soft pressing of the grapes. VINIFICATION: Slow fermentation of the must and sparkling process in autoclave. AGEING: The wine stays in the autoclave for at least two months and then it is cold fill bottled. ALCOHOL: 6.50 % vol TASTING NOTES: Lively, medium-intense, ruby-red colour. Wide-ranging nose and with an aromatic touch that distinguishes it, very delicate. Best served at a temperature of 10-12°C. FOOD PAIRING: At the end of the meal it pairs with sweets and fruit, excellent with strawberries.

SWE PIEDMONT Vs TUSCANY BACKGROUNDER
SWE PIEDMONT vs TUSCANY BACKGROUNDER ITALY Italy is a spirited, thriving, ancient enigma that unveils, yet hides, many faces. Invading Phoenicians, Greeks, Cathaginians, as well as native Etruscans and Romans left their imprints as did the Saracens, Visigoths, Normans, Austrian and Germans who succeeded them. As one of the world's top industrial nations, Italy offers a unique marriage of past and present, tradition blended with modern technology -- as exemplified by the Banfi winery and vineyard estate in Montalcino. Italy is 760 miles long and approximately 100 miles wide (150 at its widest point), an area of 116,303 square miles -- the combined area of Georgia and Florida. It is subdivided into 20 regions, and inhabited by more than 60 million people. Italy's climate is temperate, as it is surrounded on three sides by the sea, and protected from icy northern winds by the majestic sweep of alpine ranges. Winters are fairly mild, and summers are pleasant and enjoyable. NORTHWESTERN ITALY The northwest sector of Italy includes the greater part of the arc of the Alps and Apennines, from which the land slopes toward the Po River. The area is divided into five regions: Valle d'Aosta, Piedmont, Liguria, Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna. Like the topography, soil and climate, the types of wine produced in these areas vary considerably from one region to another. This part of Italy is extremely prosperous, since it includes the so-called industrial triangle, made up of the cities of Milan, Turin and Genoa, as well as the rich agricultural lands of the Po River and its tributaries.

The visit began with a tour of several Languedoc vignerons. This area is considered by many to be the most innovative in France, producing soft rustic red blends based on several of the traditional Mediterranean grapes used in the southern Rhône valley, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Grenache and/or Carignan. The vin de pays wines are far less traditional and seem to dominate. The producers we visited were not concerned with not bottling under AOC appellation labels. The soils of the region vary notably from alluvial near the sea to more chalk, gravel and limestone. Many of the better vineyards, such as Mas de Daumas Gassac, that we visited are planted not on the plain but on relatively high, cool plateaus. Institut Coopératif du Vin (ICV).

(2020/C 32/10) This communication is published in accordance with Article 17(5) of Commission (1) Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/33 COMMUNICATING THE APPROVAL OF A STANDARD AMENDMENT ‘Brachetto d’Acqui / ACQUI’ Reference number: PDO-IT-A1382-AM04 Date of communication: 25 September 2019 DESCRIPTION OF AND REASONS FOR THE APPROVED AMENDMENT 1. Description of the wines Description and reasons For ‘Brachetto d’Acqui’ or ‘Acqui’ still and sparkling wines, the minimum total acidity has been changed from 5 g/l to 4.5 g/l. For the sparkling wine (Spumante), the minimum sugar-free extract has been reduced from 18 g/l to 17 g/l. Reasons: Changes in climate conditions have affected the phenological stages and grape ripening which often occurs early, in addition to which the acidity of the must and therefore of the wines obtained from it, is reduced. It was thus considered appropriate to reduce the minimum total acidity by 0.5 g/l. The reduction of the sugar-free extract by one gram per litre constitutes a formal amendment, in relation to the official method, to the previous value for the minimum net dry extract. This amendment concerns section 1.4 of the Single Document and Article 6 of the Product Specification.

Piemonte Doc Brachetto VS DOLCE
Piemonte doc brachetto VS DOLCE Variety - Brachetto Region - Piedmont – Acqui Terme Acquesi only produces DOC and DOCG wines from the region of Piedmont. Soil Piedmont is a diverse region with many microclimates. Monferrato, in the Province of Asti, is one of the most famous grape-growing areas of Piedmont, and now a UNESCO World Heritage site. Brachetto grows well here in soils consisting mainly of limestone, calcareous clay, and marine minerals. This results in wines with great structure and typical Brachetto fruit Winemaking & Metodo Martinotti Acquesi is produced using Metodo Martinotti in which the brief secondary fermentation takes place in large vats, preserving all the natural aromas. The must goes through a cold fermentation to achieve the proper balance of flavor, aroma, fruit, and delicate perlage. History In 1895, the Italian oenologist Federico Martinotti, from the Province of Asti, invented the world famous method for sparkling wine based on controlled fermentation in large vats. 20 miles away and a little over 50 years later, Acquesi was founded in Acqui Terme, Piedmont in 1952. We have recently re-launched this brand with its iconic, Liberty Style design, dating back to the early 1900s from the city of Turin, Italy. Our unforgettable floral pattern symbolizes this period’s elegance and joy. Alcohol: 6.5% Tasting Notes & food pairings This Brachetto has an enticing deep rose color with an elegant perlage. The bouquet consists of raspberry, cherry, and delicate rose petals. A pleasant acidity complements the sweet flavor, matching perfectly with fresh cheeses, savory or spicy cuisine, and sexy chocolate desserts. Serve between 38-50° F / 5-10° C.

But this probably has more to do with the romance surrounding the wine than with the wine itself. The best Provençal wines are red, and they can be truly splendid. YOU CAN FORGET MOST PROVENCE ROSÉ.

They have been making wine here for more than 2,600 years, and by the time the Romans arrived, in 125BC, it was already so good that they immediately exported it back to Rome. But ask yourself this question: do you think that wine was a rosé? Of course not; Provence rosé is a relatively recent phenomenon and, some would cynically say, one that was deliberately designed to swindle the gold-draped nouveau riche who flock here.
