The Bigar by Elio Perrone is proof that serious winemakers can make fun wines that should simply be enjoyed and not contemplated. Stephano calls this fanciful blend Bigar, meaning a mix of colors, as he crafts this wine from a white grape, Moscato, and a red grape, Brachetto. Delicately sweet and effervescent, the Bigar shows all the best characters of top-notch Moscato and Brachetto and so much more. Aromas of rose petals, white flowers and a hint of
citrus peel
lead to flavors of
raspberries
and
peaches
and a
refreshingly sweet
, frizzante finish. Respected by wine critics as one of Italys finest dessert wines and by neophytes as Sonofabiscuit thats delicious! alike.
