Wine Description & Tasting Notes
Nivasco in Piedmontese dialect “nivòsc” were the hills where the snow used to stay longer, and this is the evocative name for the Piemonte D.O.C. Brachetto. This is a frizzante red wine, moderately sweet and aromatic made from unique indigenous grape cultivated exclusively in Piedmont in the Provinces of Asti and Alessandria.
We’ve nicknamed this, Adult Ribena after the multitude of returning customers mentioning the likeness and have even told their friends and family to come to our shop asking for our Ribena wine!
Nose: Aromas of little red fruits such as cherries and strawberries.
Palate: The wine is well balanced between freshness and sweetness, with a good structure and gentle frizzante style fizz.
Pairings: dessert with fruits, chocolate bunet (Piedmontese pudding), pastries, hazelnut pie. Perfect on it own served well chilled.
