Discover the grape variety: Brachetto

Sweet, lightly sparkling reds with a clear ruby robe, a light and refreshing palate (low alcohol, ~5.5%), with intense, refined aromas of rose, wild strawberry, raspberry, geranium, fresh grape and airy muscat. Sweetness balanced by fine bubbles. Absolute star of Brachetto d'Acqui DOCG in Piedmont (Asti and Alessandria provinces), a festive wine served with red fruit desserts. Autochthonous aromatic Piedmontese variety, related to Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains.

The wine region of Marlborough

World reference for Sauvignon Blanc: aromatic, exuberant whites with signature notes of passion fruit, gooseberry, grapefruit and cut grass, sharp lively acidity and an iodised finish. King grape on 71% of the vineyard since 1972. Also fine, silky Pinot Noir (cherry, plum, spice), taut Chardonnay and lively Riesling. Traditional-method sparklers on the rise.


The wine region of South Island

New Zealand's southern island, cradle of the country's great wines. Sauvignon Blanc signature in Marlborough (~80% of national vineyard): explosive and tropical with grapefruit, passion fruit, boxwood, cut grass and mineral touch — global benchmark. Pinot Noir star in Central Otago (among the most southerly) and Waipara: airy with cherry, raspberry, undergrowth, thyme. Taut Riesling, precise Chardonnay, floral Pinot Gris.

The word of the wine: Fumet

Older synonym for bouquet.
