Braida Montebruna Barbera d’Asti DOCG is a wine that has earned its accolades, including a Best Buy rating from Wine Spectator. Hailing from the Piedmont region of Italy, this wine is crafted from 100% Barbera grapes grown in Rocchetta Tanaro. The color is a captivating purplish ruby red that immediately draws you in. On the nose, it exudes pronounced aromas of ripe cherry and red berries, promising a flavorful experience.
In the cellar, meticulous care is taken during the winemaking process. The must spends two weeks in temperature-controlled steel tanks for fermentation, followed by a year of aging in large oak barrels. This careful aging process adds depth and complexity to the wine, enhancing its natural characteristics.
When it comes to tasting, Montebruna delivers on its promise. The palate is deep, full, and harmonious, offering a lingering finish that ends with a subtle hint of almond. It’s a well-balanced, fragrant wine that’s incredibly easy to drink. Whether you’re pairing it with pasta dishes, red or white meats, cheeses, or cured meats, this Barbera d’Asti is a versatile and delightful addition to any meal.
