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. — 20 hours ago

The extra skin contact on this is delightful and probably makes it more intense. I’m into it. Lots of ripened tropical fruit, mint and sage, green tea, medium acidity, but with a saline kick that brings it all together. — 2 years ago

Wanted to try this out while considering wineries in the conca de barbera area to visit. Floral nose. Pleasant mishmash fruit punchy hi-c fun on the palate. Cherry vanilla fruity punch. Nice acidity. For a zero sulfur wine it’s pleasantly not funky. — 5 years ago
