2018 Braida Monte Bruna Barbera d'Asti

We are always on the lookout to try different Barbera wines because we also grow Barbera. Recently, my husband bought this 2018 Braida Monte Bruna. We liked it immediately. The wine was dark garnet in color and had notes of blackberries and boysenberries at the beginning which lingered until the finish of acidity at the back end.
I learned a little more about this Barbera at the Braida Website. Montebruna is a Barbera d’Asti DOCG made with 100% Barbera grapes grown in an estate-owned vineyard in Rochetta Tanaro. The must spends two weeks in temperature-controlled steel tanks where it ferments and is then transferred to large oak barrels to age for a year. My husband said he purchased this wine for about $32.00. Worth it!
