With tireless dedication, the Bologna family fulfills the legacy of Giacomo Bologna, who is rightly called the father of modern Barbera d'Asti. The historic gem of the house is the Bricco dell'Uccellone
Firm and deep, tart, warm-alcohol aroma of ripe, mostly black berries with smoky-bacon, slightly tobacco-like, and ashy tones. Along with dried herbs and a lightly roasted woody spice. Ripe, fairly dense, again firmly structured, juicy dark fruit. Present, crumbly-sandy, still youthful tannins combined with smoky and again slightly roasted wood notes. Persistent and very powerful on the palate, noticeable yet integrated alcohol with some chocolate and coffee in the background. Clearly salty, with good depth.
Very good, firm, juicy, quite spicy, and slightly ethereal finish with some sandy tannin grip and alcohol warmth.
Also available on request in 6-bottle wooden case.
