Giacomo Bologna Braida Bricco dell' Uccellone 1990

Giacomo Bologna hatte schon vor über 30 Jahren die Vision, aufzuzeigen, dass man aus Barbera große Weine entstehen lassen kann. Seitdem gibt es viel hervorragende Barbera, nicht nur von Braida. Dennoch steht dieses Weingut für uns nach wie vor an der Spitze, wenn es um hochqualitative Barbera geht, die wunderbar über Dekaden reifen können.

"L´Uccellone was the nickname of a woman who lived on the hill where the vineyards were located. Her nose looked like a bird´s beak and she always wore black, and this is how she got her nickname in the village."

"Very deep ruby red colour with garnet highlights. Rich and complex bouquet with outstanding concentration and density; scents of red berries and forest fruits are particularly evident, with a background of minty spices, vanilla and liquorice. Generous flavour with excellent body and remarkable structure, a perfect combination of the characteristics of the grape and the contribution of wood, resulting in refined smoothness and class, with a very long aromatic persistence. Ideal with roasts and meat dishes, also with sauces, and mature cheeses."
