Grignolino Limonte Giacomo Bologna Braida 2015

This wine has been defined “rebelled wine” by Luigi Veronelli; this wine is one of the most characteristic wine of Piedmont: the name derives from the dialectal term of Piedmont, used in order to indicate the grapes, called “grignola” because it contains more acinus than the other grapes. The colour of this wine is not very intense and it is a ruby red one, with a good transparency; moreover, this wine emanates a soft perfume of red fruits, besides floral sensations of geranium and grass. The taste is fresh and it is perfect in combination with salami, grilled or braised white meats, typical platters of Piedmont and medium seasoned cheeses, not so tasty.

The history of the cave, situated in Rocchetta Tanaro, has a beginning with the nickname of ‘Braida’, that was attributed to Giuseppe Braida, during the elastic football match, a typical sport of Piedmont. Giacomo Bologna has inherited the nickname and the love for wine and soil from his father. Today Raffaella and Giuseppe Bologna manage the cave and they represent the third ‘Braida’ generation: they have transformed the taste of Barbera wine too, by giving to this kind of wine a noble and a quality taste.
