Braida

An important piece for the history of Piedmontese viticulture, the one added in 1961 by Giacomo Bologna, the well-known winemaker who brings Barbera d'Asti to the fore, giving it the dignity it deserves. The great innovation introduced was that of using French barriques for wine aging, a practice little known in Italy at the time. With 56 hectares of vineyards, scattered among the municipalities of Castelnuovo Calcea, Costigliole d'Asti, Mango d'Alba and Trezzo Tinella, and vines of Barbera, Chardonnay, Brachetto and Grignolino today Braida is a producer of very special and evocative wines, with labels that are not forgotten.
