The Barbera d'Asti grapes come from the vineyards located on the Montebruna hill. This is where the name "Montebruna" (Montebruna) comes from. The hill is near the winery in Rocchetta-Tanaro. The climate is perfect, with plenty of sunshine and cool breezes blowing from the vineyards' peaks. This coolness enhances the harvest, which is evident in the flavor of this Montebruna Barbera d'Asti. Once the grapes are harvested by hand, this red wine is aged for a full 12 months in the Braida wine cellars. Oak barrels of 20, 35, and 55 hectoliters are used for aging to enhance the depth of the wine.
It's a real treat to drink, as this red wine is available in limited quantities. In the glass, it gleams beautifully ruby red with a purple glow. Aromas of ripe red berries, cherries, and vanilla make it very appealing. We take a small sip, and our palate is treated to hints of red fruit, accompanied by plenty of spice, vanilla, and a touch of oak. The refined acidity in this red wine adds an extra dimension. The finish is pleasant and ripe, with plenty of richness.
