Montebruna represents the pinnacle of Braida's Barbera portfolio, sourced entirely from estate vineyards in Rocchetta Tanaro that Giacomo Bologna carefully selected for their exceptional potential. This single-vineyard expression showcases what made Bologna a revolutionary figure in Piedmont—his belief that Barbera could produce wines of profound complexity when treated with the same reverence as Nebbiolo.

The Bologna family's approach at Braida combines traditional Piedmontese winemaking with modern precision, employing temperature-controlled fermentation and careful oak integration to preserve Barbera's natural vibrancy while adding structure and depth. Montebruna undergoes extended maceration to extract maximum color and tannins, followed by aging that develops the wine's characteristic layers of dark fruit, leather, and spice.

Within the Barbera d'Asti DOCG, Montebruna stands as a testament to the variety's ability to produce age-worthy wines, representing Braida's commitment to elevating Barbera's status in the hierarchy of Piedmontese wines.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 91
"The 2019 Barbera d’Asti Montebruna is laced with copious super-ripe dark cherry and plum fruit. Mocha, new leather, spice and dried flowers add layers to this forward, mid-weight Barbera from Braida. The 2019 is potent and earthy, with plenty of intrigue." -Antonio Galloni

Kerin O'Keefe

WE 90
"Aromas recalling forest floor, ripe black-skinned fruit and blue flower form the nose along with a whiff of camphor. Full-bodied and concentrated, the palate doles out prune, tobacco and licorice alongside velvety tannins. You’ll also notice the warmth of evident alcohol. Drink through 2024." -Kerin O’Keefe
