With tireless dedication, the Bologna family fulfils the legacy of Giacomo Bologna, who is rightly described as the father of modern Barbera d'Asti. The historic jewel of the house is the Bricco dell'Uccellone: dense and complex on the nose, with blackberry jam, mocha, liquorice and cloves on the palate. Its fine-grained tannins and excellent structure carry it with beautiful fruit and acid wire into a long-lasting finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Medium, transparent garnet red colour with a slightly brightening rim. Very clear and clean on the nose, with appealing fruit flavours of ripe cherries and wild berries as well as hints of bread crust and light balsamic notes. Very juicy on the palate with tightly woven tannins, beautiful structure and well-integrated 16% alcohol, very long finish." Falstaff

"A complex, beguiling barbera with layered aromas of licorice, sweet violets, earth, leather, restrained black cherries and plums. Medium- to full-bodied with flavors of oak bark and graphite, showing smoky complexity, velvety tannins and zesty yet integrated acidity. Long, chocolaty and warming finish." James Suckling

"This is a sober wine with plenty of complexity and depth, but at its core it is pure joy. Aromas of sun-warmed, crushed raspberries and black cherries mingle with fresh thyme, while clove, aniseed and cinnamon stick enliven the nose. The well-structured palate is a dance between fresh and preserved wild berries, accompanied by a lively acidity. Savoury spices, herbs and white pepper linger on the finish, revealing a wine that is serious but just wants to have fun." Wine Enthusiast
