There’s a wine that never imposes itself. It doesn’t raise its voice, doesn’t try to convince you. It arrives quietly, the way certain hills of lower Piedmont do when you cross them without hurry. Brachetto d’Acqui is like that: a gentle story, tasting of flowers, small red fruits, of memory. <\/p>\n\n
