The Barbera d'Asti DOCG Bricco dell'Uccellone 2022 from Braida is regarded as one of Piedmont’s great icons and has played a key role in elevating the international reputation of the Barbera grape variety. The grapes come from old vineyards in the hills of Rocchetta Tanaro, where limestone and clay soils provide ideal conditions for producing wines of both power and elegance. Careful hand harvesting, traditional maceration, and subsequent aging in French oak barrels give the wine remarkable depth, structure, and outstanding aging potential. Despite its concentration, it retains the vibrant freshness and lively character that define Barbera.
In the glass, it displays an intense ruby-red color with garnet reflections. The bouquet is layered and elegant, revealing aromas of ripe cherries, blackberries, and plums, complemented by notes of vanilla, cocoa, licorice, and refined spicy and toasted nuances. On the palate, it is full-bodied and harmonious, featuring lively acidity, silky tannins, and an exceptional balance between fruit, spice, and oak. The long, complex finish highlights the extraordinary class and remarkable aging potential of this legendary Barbera.
