Brachetto DOC "Nivasco", Why We Love It and Why You'll Love It Too
There’s something irresistibly playful about Brachetto DOC “Nivasco”. With its ruby-red sparkle and gentle bubbles, it instantly feels like a celebration. Moreover, it’s sweet yet never heavy, because the lively freshness keeps it beautifully balanced and endlessly drinkable.
The name comes from the old dialect word “nivòsc”, meaning a hill where snow lingers longer. That cool sense of freshness is exactly what this wine delivers. Therefore, when you pair it with fruit tarts, chocolate biscuits, or hazelnut cake, you’ll see how it turns even the simplest dessert into something unforgettable. After all, life’s sweetest moments are meant to be shared.
Bracchetto
It is one of Piedmont’s most charming native grape varieties, and it’s renowned for creating light, aromatic, and delicately sweet wines. Although it’s cultivated almost exclusively in the provinces of Asti and Alessandria, it thrives on the sunny hills of southern Piedmont, where the soils give it its signature freshness and elegance.
Brachetto wines are instantly recognisable by their ruby-red hue, gentle sparkle, and fragrant bouquet. They burst with aromas of wild strawberries, cherries, and roses, yet they remain beautifully balanced by a refreshing acidity. Traditionally enjoyed slightly chilled, they are perfect for pairing with fruit-based desserts, chocolate, or fine pastries.
Thanks to its vibrant personality and effortless drinkability, Brachetto continues to be one of Italy’s most beloved dessert wines. As a result, every sip feels like a small celebration.
Vinchio Vaglio
The history of Vinchio Vaglio is a testament to the locals’ love for the challenging yet fruitful Monferrato region in Piedmont, where exceptional grapes thrive, giving rise to outstanding wines. Established in 1959 by 19 founding members who actively built the winery amidst tough economic conditions, the cooperative has grown to about 200 members. It stands as a model of viticultural excellence, consistently producing award-winning wines recognised by international critics.
