Braida Ai Suma 2017 750-6 2017

iacomo Bologna Braida is an estate in the Monferrato region of Piedmont, just southeast of the town of Asti. It is particularly associated with wines produced from the Barbera grape variety and is sometimes credited as the first producer in the region to prove that this variety can be aged in new oak barrels. The flagship of the range is Bricco dell’Uccellone, a Barbera d’Asti with rich aromas, voluptuous texture and creamy oak. It is joined at the top of the range by Bricco della Bigotta and Ai Suma, which both see 15 to 18 months in new oak barriques.

Very deep ruby red color with garnet highlights. Ample, rich and complex bouquet with numerous scents of fruit and a background of vanilla, licorice and cocoa notes.
