Nivole Moscato d'Asti 2022

Resuming my journey through Italian wine with this lovely Moscato D'Asti. Bursting with orange peel and lemon bar aromas backed by notes of orchard blossoms, gardenia, and a hint of minerals. Delightful summer fun. — 4 months ago

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. Nonetheless "Uccellone" in italian slang also mean "big penis"...
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 12 months plus 12 months in the bottle before release and needs decanting. Super smooth, super complex, this is 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.
