- Appearance: Deep ruby red, vivid and glossy.
- Nose: Aromas of ripe red berries — strawberries, cherries, raspberries — with soft floral notes and a touch of vanilla and sweet spice.
- Palate: Fresh berry burst, well balanced sweetness, moderate acidity keeping it lively. Soft tannins ensure it’s smooth rather than heavy.
- Finish: Clean, fruity finish with a hint of crispness, leaving you with a pleasant aftertaste of cherry and berry juice.

Accolades & Recognition
- While Candy Floss Sweet Red isn’t widely covered in high-profile critic reviews or major wine awards yet, it is a cherished pick among sweet wine lovers for its accessibility and fruit-driven profile. Oaks & Corks feedback highlights its drinkability and flavour among Nairobi customers seeking sweeter reds.
- Raffaello is globally known and has consistently been praised for its premium ingredients and quality craftsmanship. Its unique coconut-almond combination has made it a favourite in confectionery rankings, and its inclusion in Ferrero’s iconic product line (with its “Classic” and “Iconic box” variants) reflects its strong brand standing.
History & Little-Known Facts
- Candy Floss Sweet Red is part of the Candy Floss brand of sweet wines. The brand emphasizes playful sweetness combined with quality, targeting those who enjoy wines with more residual sugar but still desire balance. It’s produced in sun-soaked vineyards where the grapes develop rich red-berry flavours.
- Raffaello was first launched by Ferrero in 1990, introducing a new confection in the company’s portfolio beyond Ferrero Rocher. It’s produced in different factories worldwide, including in Belgium, Canada, and Russia.
- An interesting note: Raffaello has a carefully guarded recipe involving white almonds, coconut from the Pacific, and a special wafer shell. Also, because it contains milk and almonds, it includes known allergens (milk, nuts).
Pairing Suggestions
- Pair Candy Floss Sweet Red with mild cheeses (e.g. brie or camembert), berry desserts, or even lightly spiced barbecue or grilled meats. It’s also refreshing lightly chilled on warm Nairobi evenings.
- Enjoy Raffaello as a dessert itself, or pair with your cup of tea or coffee. The sweet almond and coconut work especially well with floral or nutty teas, or with dessert wines (if doubling down).
