The 2010 Brigantino is a unique sweet red sparkling wine made from Moscato di Casorzo. It has the aromatic profile of Moscato with the berry fruit and weight of a red grape, but without the herbal profile of Braccheto, if that makes sense. It is an attractive mid-weight wine loaded with personality. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014.
This is a fabulous lineup from Accornero replete with a number of wines that deliver superb value.
