Tasting Notes: The Braida Barbera d'Asti Ai Suma is a unique expression of Barbera made from dried grapes. It has a very intense ruby red color with purple hues. Ample, rich and complex bouquet, with intense notes of wild berries, prunes with vanilla, licorice and cocoa. There is a warm mouth-feel present with a deep structure and at the same time an elegant and sensual, lifted and very persistent finish.
Estate History: Braida’s story is linked to that of Rocchetta Tanaro, a small town in the Monferrato area. They were some vineyards owned by Grandfather Giuseppe, who left them to his son Giacomo, and now they are cultivated by Giuseppe and Raffaella Bologna. “Braida” was the nickname that Giuseppe Bologna, a professional carter, had earned himself by playing handball, because of his resemblance to the champion of this sport.
