Bricco del Uccellone...
L'Uccellone was the nickname of a woman who lived on the vineyard hill. Her nose was reminiscent of a bird's beak, and she always wore black: this earned her a nickname<br />in the village. Hence the name Bricco dell'Uccellone.<br /><br />Appellation: Barbera d'Asti DOCG.<br />Grapes and Vineyard: Produced with 100% Barbera grapes from our own vineyards in Rocchetta Tanaro.<br />Winery: Maceration on the skins takes place at controlled temperature and lasts 20 days. The wine then goes into oak barrels where it refines for 12 months, then one more<br />year in bottle.<br />Tasting: Very intense ruby red colour with garnet reflections. Rich, complex bouquet, with considerable concentration and depth; hints of red fruit and small fruits are<br />particularly evident, with some minty spices, vanilla and liquorice in the background. Generous flavour, full-bodied and well-structured, a perfect blend of the characteristics of<br />the vine and the contribution of the wood, in a combination of great softness and class, with a very long aromatic persistence. Accompanies large meat dishes, roasts, also<br />with sauces, mature cheeses.<br />Serving temperature: Serve at 17-18°C.<br />
