An aromatic grape in the Alto Monferrato

Brachetto gives Acqui’s wines a distinctive aromatic identity.

Brachetto d’Acqui includes ordinary, sparkling and passito styles built around Brachetto. Its specification connects the wines with the Alto Monferrato, distinguishing clay-rich ground around Nizza Monferrato from sand and silt in the Acqui area. The different styles give you several routes into the same named wine territory.

Between Asti and Alessandria

The grape area comprises defined municipalities and portions of territory in the provinces of Asti and Alessandria. The denomination may also be named Acqui.
