Braida is the story of Raffaella and Giuseppe, two brothers who bring the heritage of an exceptional family of Italian wine into their genes and gestures. Their history is linked to that of Rocchetta Tanaro, a small town in the Monferrato area of Asti. 1961 is the date of the first vintage of the Barbera del Monferrato lively “La Monella” then bottled. Grapes grown and harvested in areas highly suited to viticulture, are processed in the cellar with the help of the most modern and sought-after oenological technologies, always used in full respect of the most ancient traditions.
This is how for years the Braida family has been synonymous with Italian drinking in the world, thanks to labels that, in addition to the “Bricco dell’Uccellone”, are expressed in names such as “Montebruna”, “La Monella”, “Il Baciale ‘” , “Bricco della Bigotta” and the others. Wines today symbol of the maximum Piedmontese and Italian wine excellence.
We tasted Barbera del Monferrato Frizzante made with Barbera grapes. Makes ten days of maceration on the skins, then a maturation of at least four months in steel, followed by two months of aging in bottle. It has a ruby red color with purple reflections and a lively, slightly sparkling foam. The nose expresses a fragrant, bursting and vinous perfume, characterized by numerous hints of red fruit. On the palate it is lively, very fresh, soft and full-bodied.
It is a wine that can be combined with everything: from cold cuts, to boiled, mixed grilled, roasted and braised but also soft cheeses and broken foods.
