"Il Bacialè" Monferrato doc Giacomo Bologna "Braida" 2010

Elegant red wine that takes the name from a term used in Piedmont, Bacialè, that was a person, who, in the past, organized the weddings: in fact, Giacomo Bologna Braida has decided to call his wine in this manner, in order to indicate the perfect wedding among the Barbera and the other vineyards that compose it. This wine shows a brilliant ruby red colour and an intense, elegant, complex bouquet with soft hints of blackberries, mixed berries, jams and oriental spices. Thanks to its charming taste and its good structure, it combines perfectly with lasagne, agnolotti, white and red meats, medium seasoned cheeses.

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.
