Brachetto d'Acqui

Wine · PDO · 26 municipalities

Recognised since 1973, Piedmont's Brachetto d'Acqui DOCG stands apart from neighboring regional reds through its strict grape composition, requiring at least 97% of the Brachetto variety. Cultivated across 26 municipalities, including Acqui Terme, this wine limits yields to 8.0 t/ha to preserve its delicate, fruity, and sometimes spicy profile. Distinctly, while its spumante version must undergo a minimum of one month presa di spuma to reach 12% total alcohol, its passito style cannot be released before October 1st of the year after harvest, achieving a minimum 16% total alcohol, with no riserva category permitted.
