The Brianna varietal is a type of hybrid grape used in wine making, resulting from a cross between two parent grape species. This grape is known for its resistance to cold weather, making it a popular choice in northern wine regions, such as Minnesota and South Dakota in the United States.
Wines produced from the Brianna varietal exhibit a range of flavors, often described as having notes of pineapple, apricot, honey, and floral undertones. These wines tend to be lighter and more fruity, making them well-suited to sweet wine production, particularly dessert wines. However, Brianna can also be used in dry white wines, yielding a crisper flavor profile.
The varietal is still relatively new and is gaining popularity due to its versatility and resilience to colder climates. As such, it can be challenging to find in some regions, but is a treat for those who enjoy sweet, fruity wines.
