Braida

Bright cherry red, fine fruit nose with a clear rose note, light, of pleasant freshness and spiciness on the palate, with strong, very pleasant tannins and an invigorating acidity. SUPERIORE.DE

Brilliant and straw-yellow in the colour, ripe and clean the Bouquet, densely and full in the taste. A characteristic, aromatic Moscato d'Asti with fine sweetness and good balance. SUPERIORE.DE

Ruby red, with strong violet nuances, lively foam, slightly sparkling. Fragrant, racy, vinous, of red fruits. Its taste is extraordinarily lively, very fresh, cheerful and untamed. The wine goes well with the whole menu, preferably with very well seasoned meats, cold cuts and hard cheeses. SUPERIORE.DE

Elementary part of the Piedmontese drinking culture and probably one of the most underestimated wines of Italy: Light ruby red (with cherry-red foam) presents itself the clearly moussing Brachetto d'Acqui. The bouquet is very aromatic with notes of nutmeg, rose and violets. The taste is extremely elegant, reminiscent of strawberries, round and finely balanced between mild sweetness and fruity, very refreshing astringency. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright purple, silver reflections, lush bouquet on the nose, notes of ripe red berries and roses. Juicy on the palate, silky texture, delicate and delicately sparkling taste, subtle sweetness underpinned with salty minerality on the finish. At 5.5%, an incredibly light-bodied drinking pleasure." Falstaff

Straw yellow, made from Chardonnay and the local Nascetta vine. Intense, floral, characteristic bouquet with a scent reminiscent of raspberries and blackberries. Dry, but full and persistent on the palate, Il Fiore leaves impressions on the palate that invite further enjoyment. SUPERIORE.DE

Bright yellow-green, floral bouquet, delicately underlaid with spices, a hint of herbal spice and apple aromas. Juicy fruit on the palate, complex, yellow tropical fruit, fresh acidity structure, long, lively finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Dreamlike Barbera from a world-famous vineyard, in the nose complex aromas of dark red, plump, juicy cherries, finest spices and black forest berries. In the mouth polished, dense, enormously much glycerine and sweetish fruit, present, but silky tannins, finely enclosed by the fruit, finesse-rich, persistent, first-class acid structure. SUPERIORE.DE

Il Bacialé made from 60 percent Barbera as well as Pinot Nero, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot entices with its intense colour and complex scent. The straightforward taste is round, highly substantial and persistent. All in all an extremely successful interpretation of the Monferrato Rosso. SUPERIORE.DE

"A rich, blackberry- and plum-infused red, backed by vibrant acidity and civilized tannins. Hints of chocolate and spice add interest as this finishes long." Wine Spectator

Light yellow with green reflections. Intensely aromatic with pronounced fruity notes of citrus fruits and green apple and mineral notes. Fresh, spicy and concentrated on the palate. Beautiful persistence and minerality in the long finish. Among connoisseurs, Riesling from Piedmont is a serious alternative to its German counterpart. SUPERIORE.DE

Asso di Fiori from Braida is a fine Chardonnay late harvest. Seductive nose with aromas of meadow flowers, yellow fruits and a filigree spice note. On the palate with great elegance and personality - absolutely up to the reputation of the famous family business. SUPERIORE.DE

With tireless dedication, the Bologna family fulfils the legacy of Giacomo Bologna, who is rightly considered the father of modern Barbera d'Asti. The historical jewel of the house is the Bricco dell'Uccellone: dense and complex bouquet, tannic and persistent on the palate, with an excellent structure and a beautiful acidity and persistence of taste. SUPERIORE.DE

"A very ripe yet impressive style of Barbera with vanilla, blackberry crumble, eucalyptus, tar, mocha and coffee beans. Very structured and full-bodied on the palate, but beautiful acidity cuts right through the plush dark fruit. Long and serious on the finish. Superb as always. Drink from 2021." James Suckling

"One of the wines that changed the modern history of Italian wine, this expression from Braida is an evergreen favorite. The 2017 Barbera d'Asti Bricco dell'Uccellone is a dark and almost impenetrable expression with bold layers of thick, dark fruit. The wine is constructed like a little tower, layer upon layer, that rises tall with momentum and power. The intensity is beautiful, and that's always been the defining trait of Uccellone. It drinks beautifully now, but it will hold its own in the cellar." Robert Parker

Bricco della Bigotta smells of cherries, cinnamon and a hint of tobacco. On the palate great finesse and harmonious balance between acidity and alcohol. Sounds long with character and class. SUPERIORE.DE

"Shows lots of clove character as well as cumin, black pepper and morello cherries. Full-bodied and quite dense, but shows good tension and structure." James Suckling

"Shows cloves and vanilla, which are well mixed into aromas of dried blackberries and licorice. Medium to full body, chewy tannins and a medium-long finish." James Suckling
