Brachetto D’Acqui, Cardinale Lanata, Piemonte

Apparenly this type of wine is not very popular and it has been impossible to find any photo of the bottle. I had it with scones at the Browns Brasserie in Mayfair, London. It is a frizzante wine with 6,8 % alcohol. I remember the bottle being black and stylish and that's it. The Braida winery is known for making good Brachettos. I am not sure what Cardinale Lanata is but I liked it very much. Bracheto is the grape and Acqui is the region in Piemonte where it is made. I hope to find it again somewhere.

I was offered a glass of this wine last week whilst at All Bar One in Holborn, London and really enjoyed.
I have searched the internet today to see if I can find a bottle but it seems impossible... not stocked anywhere?
I do hope I can enjoy it again!
