Cavallino Brachetto d'Acqui Il Cascinone 2008

• Production is low, so this highly sought after wine is hard to find
• A modest 5% but no lightweight
• Delicious with chocolate cake or fantastic as an aperitif.

We Say...

It's very hard not to love this wine - it makes you smile!! But, it's hardly surprising if you haven't tried Brachetto before. This wine is a treasure that is seldom seen outside Italy. Even better than Lambrusco Reggiano, this hard to find gem is highly sought after. Light, a touch sweet but super-refreshing, it's quite unique. Low alcohol, slight frizzante and red.

A great balance and not overly sweet, a favourite of ours and we keep coming back to this one.

Emma

I loved this wine! It's light, refreshing and totally moreish! Perfect for afternoon tipple with the girls!

Damien

Wow, This is a real gem. Think of fruity and creamy not sickly and sweet and you will love it! one for the skeptics!

Richard

If you want a low alchohol drink, you might like this, but then again you might prefer Vimto.

A huge xmas hit, especially good for the period post church till food available as loads of flavour but low alcohol level. Will be on the look out for this in the future, would almost certainly be ace with a picnic or BBQ.

Bought this at chrismas to try, barely has a fizz so would not really class it as a sparkling wine. We thought it was awful!

Clare

We loved this wine - my husband who is not normally a 'sparkling' man, really enjoyed its light fruity taste. We took a bottle to a party on New Years Eve and as it doesn't have a high alcohol % he was able to have 2 glasses and still be able to drive me, (who on the other hand had sunk more than a few!!!!) home safely.
