Made from the aromatic Brachetto grape, it offers a delicate balance of fruit, florals and gentle bubbles that makes it ideal for relaxed aperitifs and indulgent desserts. As one of Piemonte’s classic sweet sparkling wines, Brachetto d’Acqui carries a long local tradition of festive, low-alcohol enjoyment into the modern glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, this Brachetto d’Acqui shows a luminous ruby-red hue with cherry highlights and a fine, persistent mousse. The bubbles are gentle rather than aggressive, forming a soft, frothy crown at the rim.\n\nOn the nose, it is intensely aromatic with notes of ripe strawberries, raspberry coulis, wild red berries and rose petals, underpinned by hints of candied cherries and a subtle touch of spice. The palate is sweet but not cloying, with lively acidity keeping everything lifted and refreshing. Flavours mirror the bouquet: fresh strawberries, red currants, pomegranate and a whisper of Turkish delight. The alcohol is typically low for this style, which enhances its easy-drinking charm. This is a wine best enjoyed in its youth to capture its vivid fruit and floral aromatics rather than for long-term aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTre Secoli sources Brachetto grapes from selected vineyards in the gently rolling hills of southern Piemonte, where a mix of calcareous and clay-rich soils helps preserve aromatic intensity and natural acidity. The grapes are harvested relatively early, often by hand, to retain freshness and delicate perfume. After a gentle pressing, the must is kept at low temperatures to protect its fragrance, then undergoes a controlled fermentation in pressurized stainless-steel tanks (Charmat\/Martinotti method). Fermentation is arrested by chilling when the desired balance of sweetness, alcohol and dissolved CO₂ is reached, resulting in a naturally sweet, lightly sparkling wine that captures the pure, grapey character of Brachetto.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTre Secoli Brachetto d’Acqui is a natural partner for fruit-driven and chocolate-based desserts: think fresh strawberries, raspberry tarts, panna cotta with berries, or dark chocolate fondant. It also works beautifully with Italian pastries such as hazelnut tortes, biscotti and festive cakes, and can contrast nicely with mild, creamy cheeses. Serve well-chilled at around 6–8°C. Decanting is not recommended; instead, open just before serving to preserve its gentle effervescence and vibrant aromatics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTre Secoli is a leading cooperative-based producer in Piemonte, born from the merger of two historic local co-ops whose roots stretch back across three centuries—hence the name, which means “three centuries” and symbolizes continuity and tradition. By uniting many small growers under one banner, Tre Secoli has become a dominant force in the region, offering a broad range of wines that reflect Piemonte’s diverse terroirs. While they are recognized for their Barbera d’Asti and other regional specialties, they have carved out particular expertise in crafting high-quality sweet and sparkling wines like Brachetto d’Acqui, helping to bring this traditional, celebratory style to a wider international audience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tre Secoli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54256290365777,"sku":"VHI0118","price":18.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/Mousserende-italien-piemonte-brachetto-dacqui-docg-tre-secoli-vinogvelsmag.png?v=1783463247","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/tre-secoli-brachetto-dacqui","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
