BRAIDA MONTEBRUNA BARBERA d’ASTI DOCG 2021

Whether you’re a newcomer to Barbera or a long-time enthusiast, Montebruna offers a taste of history, passion, and place.

Montebruna Barbera d’Asti is not just a wine—it’s the expression of a family’s dedication to their land, their craft, and their heritage. Every vine planted at Montebruna carries with it a story of resilience and care, a legacy that began with Giacomo Bologna and continues with his children, Raffaella and Giuseppe. Their love for Barbera, and their respect for tradition, lives in every bottle.

The palate is concentrated with lush ripe red and black berries, cola and spice and herbs. Round and fleshy, the wine is balanced with the natural acidity of the Barbera itself. This wine is drinking beautifully now, but it will continue to evolve gracefully over the next 5-7 years, gaining further complexity with more savoury and earthy notes emerging, while still retaining its vibrant fruit and acidity.

Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"Purplish ruby red colour. Very evident scents of ripe cherry and red berries. The flavour is deep, full and harmonious, with a persistent finish that lingers on the palate, ending with a hint of almond. Excellent, balanced, fragrant and very easy to drink, it accompanies pasta dishes, red and white meats, cheeses and cured meats."

92/100 Wine Enthusiast (2021 Vintage)
"An ecstatic wine that leaps from the glass with the speed of an Olympic sprinter. Vibrant aromas of cut Bing cherries, crushed raspberries, wild roses and hints of bay leaf define the nose. The palate pops with mouth-watering freshness as a mélange of red berries shine as bright as if freshly picked. Subtle earth notes balance the wine on the crunchy and lively finish."

"Attractive, chocolatey character with ripe dark cherries, red plums and sweet spices. Medium- to full-bodied, creamy and smooth, with a velvety texture. Lingering and nicely filled with fruit. Drink now or hold."
