Brown brick red color. Aromas and flavors of blackberry ice and dried strawberries with a supple, vibrant, effervescent, sweet medium-to-full body and a smooth, engaging, medium-long finish that exhibits nuances of sour cherry relish and watermelon sorbet with no oak flavor. A very tasty, spot-on Lambrusco-like, Brachetto with nice layers and zippy acidity to hold it all together.

About
Sparkling Sweet Wine
Sparkling Dessert Wines are effervescent sweet fruity wines with residual sugar levels of 5% brix or higher that are not from established sparkling dessert wine categories like Italian Moscato d' Asti or Canadian Sparkling Ice Wines. American examples are usually made with a variety of muscat grapes, labeled as 'Moscato", and may include other natural flavors like citrus or berries.
