DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Malvira is an estate in the Roero, in Piedmont, northwest Italy, farmed organically. Birbet is its sweet sparkling red, made from Brachetto grown in the estate's Trinita, Prarino and Saglietto vineyards on calcareous clay at about 300 meters.
The grape is 100% Brachetto Lungo del Roero, also called Brachettone. The wine ferments in stainless steel for 36 hours, then has its second fermentation in a pressurized tank. Residual sugar is 110 g/l, with no added sugar, and the pressure is 6 atmospheres, so it is fully sparkling. Expect violet, strawberry, raspberry and rose hip on the nose, and sweet red fruit and flowers on the palate, with a light chalky edge that stops it from cloying. Only about 1,000 cases are made each year.
Serve it cold, around 45F, in a flute or white wine glass. Pair it with strawberries, berry tarts, chocolate desserts or soft fresh cheeses.
Bottle size: 750ml
