Braida ‘s History and Philosophy
<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Nothing could be less normal, indeed totally abnormal, than the re-invention of a wine, modifying the peculiarities and criteria that made it characteristic. <\/span>Stranger still is if this happens in the case of a wine with centuries of history behind it, tens of thousands of hectares of grapes planted and millions of liters produced in each vintage. <\/span>The wine referred to is <\/span><\/span>Barbera<\/span><\/span><\/strong> del Piemonte, which could easily be called “the people’s wine”, the table wine of a region where meals consumed with water or other non-alcoholic drinks are considered a real anomaly.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Until not long ago, <\/span><\/span>Barbera<\/span><\/span><\/strong> grapes <\/span>represented about half of the region’s wine production; <\/span>the situation has changed somewhat in recent decades, but the importance of this variety in the region’s economy and lifestyle are not in question. <\/span><\/span><\/span>In the period before the Second World War, <\/span><\/span>Barbera<\/span><\/span><\/strong> was so abundant that wine was free in local bars and taverns: consumers paid for the table covers and wine was brought for free. <\/span>Much of the production was in fact intended for taverns.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But this happened before <\/span><\/span>Giacomo Bologna<\/span><\/span><\/strong> of Rocchetta Tanaro in the province of Asti decided that it was time to change, convinced as it was that with due care in the vineyards and a more prudent work in the cellars, <\/span><\/span>Barbera<\/span><\/span><\/strong> could also prove that it was, at least potentially , a noble grape and that its wines could have found place in the wine list of elegant and classy restaurants and in prestigious wine shops. <\/span>Years of work, travel and study, often in the company of <\/span><\/span>Luigi Veronelli<\/span><\/span><\/strong> , the most famous Italian wine and food critic, led to this belief, which was soon put into practice.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The wines of Braida<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Reduced vineyard yields, careful fermentations and well-calculated aging in small oak barrels did the rest, and the result was the surprising <\/span><\/span>Bricco dell’Uccellone<\/span><\/span><\/strong> , which landed on critics and consumers unprepared as a sudden cannon shot. <\/span>He was then accompanied by two other Barbera super offers: <\/span><\/span>Bricco della Bigotta<\/span><\/span><\/strong> and <\/span><\/span>Ai Suma<\/span><\/span><\/strong> . <\/span>The children of Bologna faithfully and uncompromisingly follow his brilliant advice and example.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
