Brachetto

At Canelli, on the border between the hills of Asti and the Langhe proper, the grape is known as Borgogna.

The most notable wine here is the red Brachetto d'Acqui Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) which is made in both still and spumante (fully sparkling) versions.

The grape is also used for up to 10% of the blend for the Ruché-based Ruché di Castagnole Monferrato DOCG.

[2] Brachetto tend to produce light-bodied, highly aromatic wines with distinctive notes of strawberries.

In the DOCG region of Brachetto d'Acqui, the grape is used to produce a slightly sweet sparkling wine that is similar to Lambrusco and is sometimes called the light red equivalent of Moscato d'Asti.
