Braida Bricco Della Bigotta - Barbera D'Asti 2004

The “Bricco della Bigotta” is a great red wine from Braida, a flagship Barbera, together with the “Bricco dell'Uccellone”, from the famous Monferrato winery founded by Giacomo Bologna. Its name is a nice homage to an old lady who lived near the vineyard where Giacomo Bologna grew his Barbera grapes, a regular in formal and exhibited devotional practices. History has it that the wine was created after a cardinal, a great lover of Barbera, asked Giacomo to change the name of "Bricco dell'Uccellone", because it caused embarrassment in the Vatican, where it was much appreciated. In response to the request, Giacomo created a new vineyard and a new label: the "Bricco della Bigotta".

The Barbera d'Asti "Bricco della Bigotta" was born in one of the best vineyards of Rocchetta Tanaro, planted on medium-textured soil rich in sand and clay; conditions that allow the production of a wine with an intense aromatic and gustatory spectrum. In the cellar the must ferments with maceration on the skins for 20 days. A long maturation of 15 months in barrique and another 12 completes the production process and contributes to the balance and great aromatic richness of this Barbera.

“Bricco della Bigotta” offers an elegant, broad and well-evolved aromatic range. On the palate, the ripeness and juiciness of the fruit dominate over every woody note, offering an extraordinary mix of fruit and spices, with complex and well-integrated notes.
