Picture pudding in a glass, minus the spoon. Asconi Chocolate is a deep, sweet Moldovan red that tastes like ripe dark berries wrapped in a soft cocoa hug. It's rich, mellow and just a little decadent, the bottle you crack open after dinner when you want something that feels like a treat. At 16% it carries a bit more warmth than your average red, so a small pour goes a long way. Slightly chilled, beside a square of dark chocolate, on a slow Nairobi evening. Yes.
First sniff and you get ripe dark fruit, think black cherry and plum, with that unmistakable whisper of chocolate curling underneath. On the palate it's silky and sweet, all juicy red-berry intensity smoothed over with cocoa and a rich, velvety body. Nothing sharp or dry here. It's plush, warming and rounded, the kind of sweet that finishes long and leaves you wanting one more sip. Think dessert, in liquid form.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Asconi, a family-run winery in Moldova, one of the oldest wine countries on earth and a place that quietly punches way above its weight. Founded back in 1994, Asconi farms over 500 hectares of vines south of Chișinău and bottles more than three million a year, mixing old Moldovan tradition with modern European kit. Their sweet dessert reds, like this one, are exactly the kind of plush, chocolatey style the region has built a cult following on.
