Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of wines are Braida known for?
Braida is best known for its extraordinary expressions of Barbera, particularly Barbera d’Asti and Barbera del Monferrato. The estate’s flagship wine, Bricco dell’Uccellone, transformed Barbera from a simple table wine into an international icon, showcasing rich plum, cherry, and spice notes with depth and elegance from barrel ageing. The Montebruna offers a more fruit-forward, youthful style, while the Ai Suma highlights concentration and power with late-harvest complexity. Beyond Barbera, Braida also produces Grignolino, Brachetto d’Acqui, and Moscato d’Asti, all displaying balance, freshness, and regional authenticity. Each wine reflects Braida’s pioneering philosophy—combining innovation with respect for tradition—to create expressive, character-driven wines that embody the true soul of Piedmont.

Where are Braida wines made?
Braida wines are made in Rocchetta Tanaro, in the Asti province of Piedmont, northern Italy. This area is renowned for its rolling hills, limestone-clay soils, and ideal microclimate, which together create perfect conditions for cultivating Barbera, one of Italy’s most expressive grape varieties. The Braida estate spans several key vineyards in Monferrato and Asti, where sustainable viticulture practices ensure quality and biodiversity. In the cellar, traditional winemaking techniques are blended with modern innovation—fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel followed by careful oak maturation enhances both fruit purity and structure. This balance between heritage and precision defines Braida’s style. Each bottle captures the essence of Piedmont’s terroir, producing wines that are rich, elegant, and distinctly reflective of their origins.

What are the best Braida wines?
The best Braida wines exemplify the estate’s mastery of Barbera and its ability to combine intensity with elegance. The Bricco dell’Uccellone is a global benchmark—deep, full-bodied, and layered with dark cherry, plum, and spice, aged in oak for complexity and longevity. The Ai Suma, made from late-harvest Barbera, delivers opulent richness with velvety tannins and lingering depth. The Montebruna Barbera d’Asti offers freshness and balance, perfect for everyday enjoyment, while the Il Baciale, a Barbera-Merlot blend, introduces a softer, more modern profile. For something aromatic, the Brachetto d’Acqui provides a delicate, sparkling red with floral sweetness. Each of these wines showcases Braida’s dedication to craftsmanship, making the winery a leader in redefining Piedmont’s winemaking excellence.

Are Braida wines affordable?
Braida wines offer outstanding value across a range of price points, making them accessible to both enthusiasts and collectors. The Montebruna Barbera d’Asti and Il Baciale blend provide remarkable quality at approachable prices, ideal for everyday enjoyment. The premium Bricco dell’Uccellone and Ai Suma command higher prices but remain exceptional bargains for their craftsmanship, complexity, and ageing potential—rivaling wines from far more expensive appellations. Each bottle reflects Braida’s commitment to quality, innovation, and authenticity. Whether it’s an entry-level Barbera or a cellar-worthy masterpiece, Braida consistently delivers wines that overperform in flavour, structure, and sophistication. This dedication to excellence and accessibility has made the estate a true icon of modern Italian winemaking.
