Wine > Bollicine Braida Barbera Del Monferrato Frizzante Doc la Monella 2023 - Braida 0.75 lt

The Monella di Braida is the historic product of the company, the one that has always existed, the one that Grandpa Giuseppe and Grandma Caterina used to produce and drink. It is a sparkling Barbera made from the youngest vines; bottled since 1961, it distinguished itself in 1969 at the National Douja d'Or Wine Competition in Asti, winning the gold medal that allowed it to participate for free in the fairs of Genoa, Turin, and Milan, where Giacomo began comparing it with other producers on the subject of Barbera. Today, the grapes undergo ten days of maceration on the skins, then the wine matures for at least four months in steel. The sparkling process takes place in an autoclave. This is followed by two months of refinement in the bottle.
SPARKLING BARBERA LA MONELLA BRAIDA: THE TASTING
The Barbera Monella di Braida presents itself lively, with a bright ruby red color and violet reflections. On the nose, it is fragrant, vinous, fruity with blackberry and raspberry; on the palate, it is pleasantly sparkling, fresh, flavorful, and inviting for the next sip. Definitely versatile, it is perfect with a plate of semi-aged cured meats, as well as with fried pasta and fresh cheeses, or even with pizza, or shifting horizons, with boiled meat.

Braida is a winery run by the Bologna brothers who carry in their genes and gestures the heritage of an exceptional Italian wine family. A heritage that they consolidate and expand with their daily work, sharing the best fruits with their indispensable hometown, Rocchetta Tanaro. Braida is the “forest of thoughts,” up there in Montebruna, with the young vines lined up and ready to give life to a new Barbera vineyard in Asinara. Biodiversity and productive rigor, genius, creativity, and respect for tradition.
