THE WINE
The 'Bricco dell'Uccellone' by Braida is a Barbera d’Asti and originates from one of the best vineyards in Rocchetta Tanaro. It is a great red wine from this winery, the flagship Barbera along with 'Bricco della Bigotta'. It undergoes a long maturation of 12 months in barrique and another 12 in bottle to achieve great balance and aromatic richness. A generous and robust Barbera with great structure, it captivates with complex notes of spices, small red fruits, underbrush, mint, vanilla, and licorice. An excellent Barbera that is well-suited to accompany red meats and aged cheeses, for an exciting gastronomic experience.
No other winery identifies with a grape variety as Braida does with Barbera. The work that Giacomo Bologna has carried out over the last few decades is unparalleled and has paved the way for an entire generation of winemakers who, after him, have started to work with conviction on this previously underappreciated variety. It can be said that it was Giacomo Bologna, with the “Bricco dell’Uccellone” and other wines that made history in Italian winemaking, who transformed the common beliefs about Barbera. By studying soils and exposures, waiting for complete ripeness, and working it to the best in the winery, Giacomo Bologna was able to demonstrate the quality, finesse, and above all the longevity that could be achieved by vinifying Barbera grapes.
Today, the company represents the faithful image of Giacomo's philosophy, his way of understanding life, the land, wine, and relationships with friends. His children Raffaella and Giuseppe, both winemakers, form the third generation of “Braida”, united by the dream and enthusiasm to continue the quest for nobility and quality in Barbera that their father started.
With over sixty hectares of vineyards, the company has its rows mainly located in the lands of Rocchetta Tanaro, to which over the years have been added parcels from Castelnuovo Calcea, Costiglione d’Asti, Mango d’Alba, and Trezzo Tinella. Grapes cultivated and harvested in highly suited areas for viticulture are processed in the winery using the most modern and refined winemaking technologies, always employed in full respect of the oldest traditions.
Thus, for years the Braida family has been synonymous with Italian drinking in the world, thanks to labels that, in addition to “Bricco dell’Uccellone”, are expressed in names such as “Montebruna”, “La Monella”, “Il Baciale’”, “Bricco della Bigotta” and all the others that follow. Wines born under the sign of the resurgence of Barbera, and today symbols of the utmost enological excellence in Piedmont and Italy.
