"There are slightly toasted notes here of chestnut or almond followed by bitter berry fruit and dark chocolate. The wine is crisp, polished and clean in the mouth with a tart, bitter almond close. Pair it with creamy potatoes dauphinoise." The 2007 Barbera d’Asti Montebruna is a deep, earthy wine imbued with dark cherries, licorice and spices. Montebruna should offer very fine drinking at the dinner table.
The son of a winemaker, Giacomo Bologna established the small Braida winery in Rocchetta Tanaro, in the province of Asti, Piedmont, in 1961. By the early 1980s Braida di Bologna Giacomo had produced three stellar crus: Uccellone, Bricco della Bigotta and Ai Suma, a “Super Barbera”, extremely high quality wines and some of the most famous in Italy. By planting with care and then ageing the wines in small, French oak barrels in order to compensate for Barbera's lack of tannins, Bologna was able to stun the Piedmont wine world by creating deeply flavorful, complex wines out of a variety normally considered to be an acidic filler.
