Varietal: Brachetto
The hilly and cool region of Piedmont in northern Italy has been home to wineries using Brachetto grapes for centuries. The Brachetto varietal grape has long been a popular grape in Italy and elsewhere in the world, as it is a particularly light bodied red wine varietal, prized for its gorgeous and pretty summery flavors of strawberries. Due to the light tannin content in the grapes' skins, Brachetto grapes produce silky smooth wines which are extremely drinkable, and easy to match with a range of mild food. The grapes are usually used in the production of still red wines, but it is not uncommon to find sparkling wines which predominantly make use of this fine varietal. Indeed, Brachetto grapes are used to make one of the finest red sparkling wines of Italy, often referred to as the 'red Moscato d'Asti' due to its similar features with this famous fizzy wine.
Region: Piedmont
n Italy, the region most closely associated with excellent quality red wines and characterful sparkling wines is Piedmont. This alpine region is located in the north-west of the country, and features beautiful foothills of the impressive mountain range which forms the nearby border between Italy, France and Switzerland. Wineries in Piedmont work with the Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Barbera grapes which thrive in the warm, dry summers and cooler autumns, as well as the beautifully expressive Moscato grapes which are used for the sparkling Asti wines the region is famed for. For generations, these wineries have perfected the art of aging their red wines, and blending grape varietals to get the most out of each one, leading to a region known all over the world for the exceptional quality of its produce.
Country: Italy
It isn't difficult to understand why Italy is famed not just for the quality of its wines, but also for the vast variety and range of characteristics found in the wines there. The terrain of the country varies wildly, from the lush rolling green hills and valley of Tuscany, to the sun drenched rocky coasts of Sicily, the mountainous and alpine regions of the north, and the marshy lowlands of the east. Italy really does have a little bit of everything. Combine this huge range of landscapes with an almost perfect climate for grape cultivation, and you have a country seemingly designed for viticultural excellence. The results speak for themselves, and it is clear to see that wine has become an inseparable part of Italian culture as a result of its abundance and brilliance. Each village, city and region has a local wine perfectly matched with the cuisine of the area, and not an evening passes without the vast majority of Italian families raising a glass of locally sourced wine with pride and pleasure.
