Braida Bricco Della Bigotta Barbera

'La bigotta was a pious woman who lived next to our Barbera vineyard. She was much more concerned with the rules and appearances of religion than the spirit behind it. We added the spirit.'

To the eye ruby-garnet red colour with purplish highlights. A rich, intense and persistent perfume explodes from the glass, mature, with powerful notes of liquorice, violet, plum and vanilla. Fruit and spice coat the palate, with flavours of roast coffee to potent spices, vigorous and intense. Dense with plummy fruit, a powerhouse, astounding stuff, perfect with roasted game.

20 days’ maceration on skins, followed by 15 months in barriques and another year in the bottle.
