This is what good wine from the Brachetto grape tastes like

The Italian Brachetto grape is primarily used to make light, sweet, sparkling red wines. While not a common sight in the Low Countries, Italians find it a popular accompaniment to fresh red fruit in dessert.

Brachetto is an ancient grape. It was likely already cultivated by the Romans, in the same region where it still originates today: Piedmont. For centuries, it was pressed into a standard red wine. Until winemaker Arturo Bersano came up with the idea in the 1960s to transform it under high pressure into a slightly sweet "spumante." This idea has been widely adopted. As far as we know, all Brachetto is now made into a slightly sweet sparkling red wine. In the municipality of Acqui in Piedmont, this wine has even been granted DOCG status (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita), the highest in the country. It is enjoyed as a red counterpart to the slightly sweet sparkling Moscato d'Asti, from the same region.
