Vintage Report

The 2021 vintage was an exceptionally strong year for the Piedmont region, with leading scores of up to 97 points for the top wines. The wines from this year currently present as youthful and powerful, indicating excellent aging potential.

This red wine is made from the Barbera grape, which made the Braida winery, under the leadership of Giacomo Bologna, famous. It was Giacomo who, using different techniques such as hand selection, temperature-controlled fermentation, and aging in new French oak, created a new Barbera wine in Piedmont. Today, more wineries have adopted these techniques, making the region's wines much more popular. For this reason, Giacomo Bologna is also known as the Barbera King of Piedmont. The winery itself is located near the Tanaro River and comprises both the winery and a superb restaurant. Because nothing is as beautiful as a perfect red wine paired with a unique dish.

The most beautiful bunches of the hill

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.

Full and very powerful this Braida Montebruna Barbera d'Asti

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.
