About this product
The wine that transformed Barbera's reputation — Braida's single-vineyard Bricco dell'Uccellone (Hill of the Owls) aged in French oak barriques. Deep ruby-purple with complex aromas of dark cherry preserve, vanilla, mocha, dried plum, and the distinctive balsamic note of Barbera at its best. The palate is full-bodied with Barbera's characteristic velvet texture (no tannin), vibrant acidity, and a long, complex finish of dark fruit and spice. A wine that defines a revolution.
