Braida Bricco dell'Uccellone Barbera d'Asti 2015

Braida Bricco dell'Uccellone Barbera d'Asti 2015 is a iconic and benchmark expression of Barbera, displaying ripe aromas of dark cherry, blackberry jam, clove, and ground pepper accented by hints of violet and toasted oak. The palate is full-bodied, rich, and velvety with vibrant acidity and a long, savory finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with roasted meats, braised beef, game birds, rich pasta dishes with ragù, or aged cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano.

95 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Aromas of ripe black-skinned berry, clove and ground pepper mingle with fragrant blue flowers and a whiff of toast. Concentrated and savory, the full-bodied palate doles out blackberry jam, mature Marasca cherry and exotic spices. Velvety tannins lend finesse, while fresh acidity keeps it light on its feet.

93 Points - James Suckling:

Extremely pretty bouquet here of brambleberry bush, chocolate, mocha-scented oak and cocoa. Full body, refreshing acidity, some really nice structure and a chewy finish. Drink now.

93 Points - Wine Spectator

A dense and brooding red, this displays rich black cherry, blackberry, vanilla and chocolate aromas and flavors. Not as fluid as some of its peers, but complex, solid and long. Drink now through 2024.
