Product Description

Overview

Winery: Rinaldi

Rinaldi Brachetto d' Acqui 2012 is made from 100% Brachetto d'Acqui, produced in the zone of production of Ricaldone, on the hills called Rioglio and Valmorana.
The training system used is Guyot with a density of 2500-3000 vines per hectare.


Vinification: Manual harvest. Temperature controlled maceration for approximately seven days with mechanic plunging of the cap and pumping over to increase extraction of substances from the skins. This is the most important part of the vinification. Soft pressing.
The skin gives the wine its particular scent and flavor.

Sweet and smooth flavors with lingering aromatic persistence. There is a good balance between the sweetness and the freshness, which makes this wine very pleasant.
