Most of the Brachetto wines I tasted for my column this week in The Washington Post were bright, fruity, delightfully fun wines, spritzy with bubbles and deliciously sweet. The Coppo Passione 2006 ($28) was more complex, more serious. Its color was orange, as if the wine had been exposed to more oxygen than the others. Its flavors, too, showed toward the citrus – dried orange peel, and cloves and other woodspice, a pomander ball in a glass. Gorgeous wine, either by itself or with any chocolate or custardy dessert that features orange citrus flavors. Bravissimo!
