Behold. The most ultimate, badass, mega, super, best in the history of the world, ultra perfect wine for Valentine’s Day; Brachetto. (Seriously, it’s that good.)
This sultry sweet wine from Piedmont, Italy is dark pink in color and is technically considered frizzante, or lightly sparkling. It looks fabulous in a Champagne flute, tastes of luscious raspberries and is even better with chocolate. In other words, it’s a gift directly from the sex Gods, themselves.
This year we chose the 2007 Casalone Mariposa Brachetto. We admit, this specific Brachetto is a bit obscure and somewhat difficult to track down, but for the money, this is a fantastic bottle of wine. It’s sweet, without being cloying and has wonderful aromas of raspberry and rose pedals. However, if you can’t find this one, there are other great Brachetto’s out there.
The thing that makes Brachetto so perfect for the big V, is that it has an alcohol content around 5%. This means that after drinking a bottle of wine with dinner and before you get to the nookie, you can sit down, sip a few glasses of Brachetto, chow on chocolate, stare deeply into each other’s eyes, do some more sappy crap like that and you won’t get super hammered and miss out on any late-night activities.
Drink with chocolate soufflé, chocolate truffles or some chocolate body paint.
