This is the most iconic barbera in Italy
The story of the label is very curious

Single site hill where a lady had a house.
She was nicknamed "Uccellone" meaning big bird due to her prominent nose that resembled a bird beak. Nonetheless "Uccellone" in italian slang also mean "big penis"...
The local priest was horrified by this label and accused Braida of pushing the boundaries too much. The answer was from him to produce another wine honouring the priest called Bricco della Bigotta(Bigot).

The wine is big, it goes in large oak for 12 months plus 12 months in the bottle before release and needs decanting. Super smooth, super complex, this is a wine for blue cheese or meditation.
It keeps giving you different shade every time you swirl it.
Personally i prefer other style of barbera, but it is a super interesting wine with a lot of history too. — 5 months ago

The origins of the Damilano family dates back to over a century ago, when Guiseppe Borgogno, the great-grandfather of the current owners, started to grow and make wine from his own grapes. Medium Ruby with aromas of fresh berry fruits and generous spice. On the palate this medium body wine shows flavors of juicy cherry and blackberry with notes of citrus and vanilla spice. Light tannin structure, lively acidity, medium ending with fruit finish. Nice value. Drink now, consistent, no aging benefit. — 2 years ago

2016 La Spinetta Barbera — 4 years ago

9.3

Clear, pale ruby in color. On the nose, it's clean with pronounced intensity primary and secondary aromas of cherry, raspberry, and smoke. On the palate, it's dry with high acidity, low tannins, medium alcohol, medium body, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of tart cherry, hibiscus, and wet slate with a medium finish. This wine is intense, complex, and with enough fruit to balance the acidity. Overall, I would rate this wine as very good. — 2 months ago

Braida has elevated Barbera to a different standard and it has done it through site selection but also through his iconic style where wines have more layers, elegance and depth.
The Montebruna goes 12 months in large oak barrels and when opened it needs time to stretch its legs.
Only after few hours you'll get the best. 15% in alchol that you don't feel on the palate.
Round, elegant and mouthfilling. — 5 months ago

This is very elegant & harmonious.
Dark sour cherry with some crushed stone and a pinch of orange peel & herbs. Fresh. Juicy.
On the palate this is very smooth, juicy, with great flow and beautiful balance. The 14.5% alc perfectly integrated.
Nice depth & length, too. — 8 months ago
