Ca' del Brado Anniversario

The Anniversario hits you with this immediate sour snap that's more refined than sloppy. There's a white wine quality underneath—not vinegary, just genuinely tart with this almost champagne-like effervescence. The 7.4% ABV sits quietly in back; you forget it's there while the acidity does all the talking. Finishes dry and clean, like someone handed you a glass of tart lemonade made by a brewmaster.

Pignoletto Italian Grape Ale

Pignoletto tastes like Ca' del Brado actually fermented grapes into beer and didn't overthink it. You get this gentle grape-forward character—almost jammy, but restrained. The 6.5% ABV gives it a lighter body that lets the fruit breathe. There's a subtle herbal backdrop that keeps it from being dessert-like. It's the kind of beer that makes you realize grapes belong in beer more often than we try.
