The better of the two "purple drinks" (the other being a Fiore brachetto), this had some decent complexity and a layered push of flavors. Considering what it is, I found I was able to identify…
Strawberry sweet tart, raspberry syrup, and cherry NyQuil flavors, with the effervescence providing manual lift so as to not come across too racy or cloying. Finishes a little gummy and…
Seeing as how I'm the only one writing about this wine, I might as well just keep going. Frothy (but not too much so) purple plum, black raspberry, and black cherry notes. Just the right amount of…
Same notes as before, and even a little better than I remember. A little elevated on the froth front, but a good balance of sweet and acid/grip. Drink now.

Same as my notes from three months ago. This was part of a 4 wine side-by-side taste-off with other Brachetto and bubbly "purple drinks." This was my last bottle (and discontinued for further…
Fun, frothy, and a nicely sweetened sparkler. Simple and not a lot of nuance to speak of, but its intent isn't to stimulate the high intellectual levels of existence. Pairs great with dark chocolate.
