Rosa Regali Brachetto d’Acqui DOCG 2007
This ‘07 is perfectly fresh with plenty of flowers and fresh strawberries. Serve this with fresh berries after dinner to match the sweetness. The ‘05 tasted one year ago was sweet and with a bit of a phenolic edge, some grab as if the tannin was showing a little. I would have served it with cheese rather than a sweet dessert, especially a tangy cheese in the blue vein, so to speak. Some of the receding fruit character might have been due to an extra year of aging. Today was are tasting the ‘07 just one year since the harvest, rather than two.
