Brachetto Birbet

Brachetto Birbet Malvir
  • 100% Brachetto Lungo del Roero (Brachettone) from the Trinità, Prarino & Saglietto estate vineyards in Roero
  • Calcareous clay soils at an average of 300 meters above sea level
  • Fermentation in stainless steel for 36 hours followed by secondary fermentation in autoclave to 6 bars of pressure
  • No sugar is added
  • Residual sugar: 110g/L
  • Approximately 1000 cases produced annually on average

Malvirà’s beloved sparkling Brachetto has changed slightly in nature! What was once classified as a “mosto parzialmente fermentato” (partially fermented grape juice), is now officially a Vino Spumante di Qualita Tipologia Aromatica (sparkling wine from aromatic grapes). This means that the new version of Birbet is fermented longer than previous releases, decreasing the sweetness (from 130 GPL RS to 110) and increasing the pressure in the bottle from 1 atmosphere to 6.  It now carries a mushroom cork with cage closure as opposed to a simple cork closure.
