ROSA REGALE SPARKLING RED 2012
PIEDMONT, ITALY




This very pleasant and elegant wine, which is made from the Brachetto grape, is produced in the Piedmont area of northwest Italy, bordering Switzerland and France. The area is famous for its Barolo and Barbaresco wines. Rosa Regale is cranberry in color, very aromatic, soft, sweet - but not excessively so, the acidity balances the sugar - with aromas and flavors of rose petals, raspberries, and strawberries. A perfect wine for celebrations. Enjoy it as an aperitif or a dessert wine paired with cheese and/or chocolate.
