Accornero, Brigantino

Accornero has been making this Brigantino since 1982 in Vignale Monferrato, a village in the Piedmontese Monferrato. From a single, almost one-hectare, east-facing vineyard, planted in 1979. A lightly sparkling, sweet red wine made from Malvasia di Casorzo: a regional specialty rarely found outside Piedmont.

What you smell
Rose petals, strawberry and raspberry juice. A hint of violets and cloves in the background.

What you taste
Light and sweet, with juicy red fruit and a fine fizz that breaks up the sweetness. Low alcohol, little tannin, so soft on the palate without heaviness. Easy to drink, fresh and crisp.

How it's made
100% Malvasia di Casorzo from a single plot in Vignale Monferrato (216 m altitude, east-facing, yield 70 hl/ha). Fermentation on the skins at low temperature to retain color and aroma. No malolactic fermentation, which preserves freshness. Cold stabilization and bottling in January.

Serving
Well chilled, around 4°C. Do not decant. A regular white wine glass is sufficient.

Pairs well with

  • Strawberry tart or fruit tart: the red fruit in the wine enhances the fruit in the dessert, the bubbles cut through the cream.
  • Krumiri or dry biscuits: classic Piedmontese combination, the light sweetness complements the buttery biscuit without overpowering it.
  • Fresh summer fruit with mascarpone: its freshness and low alcohol make it ideal as a light dessert or aperitif on a warm evening.

Accornero is wijnboer in Vignale Monferrato sinds 1897, en verkocht de druiven aanvankelijk aan de plaatselijke coöperatie. Pas in 1957 besloot Giulio Accornero zelf wijn te gaan maken. Zijn zonen zetten dat voort, en inmiddels staat ook de nieuwe generatie klaar.

Piemonte staat bekend om Barolo, maar het grootste deel van de streek doet iets anders. In Monferrato en rond Asti maken kleine huizen wijn van Barbera, Grignolino, Freisa en Ruchè, druiven die zelden verder komen dan de regio zelf.
