Wine description

An historical wine, a true ambassador not only of Barbera but also of Italy in the world, the most known and imitated Barbera. The Braida 's Bricco dell'Uccellone is a great red wine that takes its name from an old lady who lived on the hill where the vineyards were located. Her nose looked like a bird beak and she was always wearing black, that's why they started called her "l'uselun" (bird).

Tasting Notes

Very deep ruby red colour with garnet highlights. Rich and complex bouquet with outstanding concentration and density; scents of red berries and forest fruits are particularly evident, with a background of minty spices, vanilla and liquorice. Generous flavour with excellent body and remarkable structure, a perfect combination of the characteristics of the grape and the contribution of wood, resulting in refined smoothness and class, with a very long aromatic persistence.

Vinification

Temperature controlled maceration on skins lasts 20 days.

Ageing

The wine is then transferred to oak barrels where it ages for 12 months, before ageing for another 12 months in the bottle.
