“Montebruna” Barbera d’Asti DOCG 2020

Braida di Giacomo Bologna | Piedmont
Braida di Bologna Giacomo S.r.l. | Strada Provinciale 27 9 | IT 14030 Rocchetta Tanaro

Fantastic Barbera from a world-famous vineyard, complex aromas of dark red, plump, juicy cherries, the finest spices and black forest berries on the nose. In the mouth, polished, dense, enormous amounts of glycerine and sweetish fruit, present but silky tannins, finely enveloped by the fruit, rich in finesse, persistent, first-class acidity. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rich garnet red in the glass. The nose is characterised by hazelnut and nougat, with a hint of mint, dark berry fruit and dried cherries also appear with air. Emphatically fruity on the palate, rich cherry fruit, finely chiselled acidity that gives it tension and freshness. Youthful with great ageing potential. Mature green notes. Alcohol is excellently integrated, appears slender, elegant and silky. Typical, pleasant bitter note on the long finish." Vinum

"Soft and imbued with cherry, blackberry and earthy flavours, this red wine is fleshy from start to finish. Almond and spice accents are evident on the finish, along with light tannins." Wine Spectator

"The 2020 Barbera d'Asti Montebruna is a powerful and rich red wine with notes of ripe berries, roasted spices, cinnamon and grilled Mediterranean herbs. Despite its strength and vigour, the mouthfeel is supported by a fresh acidity and a strong alcohol content of 15%." Wine Advocate

"Aromas of cherry chocolate, dark liquorice, hints of bark and damp earth. Full-bodied with a velvety, supple tannin structure and a slightly chalky texture on the finish. Juicy and full of flavour." James Suckling

"The Barbera d'Asti Montebruna 2020 is dark and lush from the start. Spices, leather, tobacco, menthol, dried flowers and mocha all come together as this intense, lush Asti Barbera shows its considerable charm. In 2021, the Montebruna is quite dense and brooding, but all elements are impeccably balanced." Vinous

"This wine opens with aromas of fresh and macerated black cherries that transition to wild flowers, savoury spices and wild herbs. The palate is concentrated with lush ripe red and blackberries, cola and sweet spices. The wine is round and fleshy and is balanced by the natural acidity of the Barbera itself." Wine Enthusiast
