The 2009 Casorzo Brigantino is a sweet sparkling red made from Malvasia di Casorzo. Readers looking for something different should make the extra effort to taste this utterly delicious wine. Dark red fruit, flowers and subtle herbs are all supported by a delicate yet persistent vein of minerality that keeps everything in balance. This is a fabulous effort from Accornero. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2012.
