Bricco dell'Uccellone Barbera d'Asti DOCG - Braida

The single-varietal Bricco dell'Uccellone Barbera d'Asti from Braida presents itself in the glass in a very intense ruby red with a garnet shimmer.

The multi-layered bouquet reveals intense notes of ripe berries - from blueberries, strawberries and raspberries to blackcurrants and blackberries. There are also nuances of peppermint, vanilla and licorice. The palate is pampered by a good body and a remarkable structure. The aromas on the nose harmonize perfectly with the hints of wood ageing, which give this Italian red wine its soft side. The very long-lasting finish is characterized by elegance and vanilla tones.
