Braida di Giacomo Bologna 2007 Bricco della Bigotta Barbera (Barbera d'Asti)

Online Exclusive

Here’s a super-modern and thoroughly lovable style of Barbera with intense and complex notes of milk chocolate, big black berry spice and espresso coffee. This wine stands tall among a new school of Barbera producers who have opted for a soft and extracted interpretation of this otherwise thorny and acidic grape. — M.L. (9/1/2010)

Honey and peach fills the mouth and is backed by lemon blossom, mineral and chalky notes, apricot and a distant dairy smell that blows off after a few swirls. A pleasant touch of acidity at the rear keeps the wine’s floral freshness intact in the mouth. Imported by Vinifera Imports. — M.L. (12/15/2005)
