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
