Bricco Del Sole

Braida

Bricco dell'Uccellone Barbera d'Asti 2020

This is the most iconic barbera in Italy
The story of the label is very curious

Single site hill where a lady had a house.
She was nicknamed "Uccellone" meaning big bird due to her prominent nose that resembled a bird beak. Nontheless "Uccellone" in italian slang also mean "big c..k"...
The local priest was horrified by this label and accused Braida of pushing the boundaries too much. The answer was from him to produce another wine honouring the priest called Bricco della Bigotta(Bigot).

The wine is big, it goes in large oak for 18 months and needs decanting. Super smooth, super complex, this a wine for blue cheese or meditation.
It keeps giving you different shade every time you swirl it.
Personally i prefer other style of barbera, but it is a super interesting wine with a lot of history too.

If you didn’t tell me what it was, I’d have guessed top Amarone. — 2 months ago

Superiore Bricco Appiani Barbera d'Alba 2012

Rustic prune and raisins, leathery soil tones, mint. High acid subtle VA. Stylistically polarizing, maybe too backward. — 2 months ago

Bricco delle Viole Barolo Nebbiolo 2019

Expressive nose with orange peel, coffee, fennel, lemmon, complex. Medium bodied with the bitterness and tannin harshness of Barolo. A baby. Clean, long, with a sense of place. Tannins are tough right now — 3 months ago

9.1

Fragrant, cherry floral earth and leather tones. Oaky on the palate, still pretty aggressive. Dense. Intense with serious palate impact. Kinda hard to rate…could use a few more years I figure — 3 months ago
