  “Ai suma”, translates to “we did it” as it is made from late harvested Barbera, practice unfamiliar back in a day and everyone went against this suggestion except a stubborn visionary Giacomo Bologna, a founder of Braida. Intense and fragrant aroma of cherries, blackberries, vanilla, licorice, tar and sweet tobacco hints. Full body, fresh, more powerful and denser than Uccellone and Bigotta with persistent deep flavours of kirsch, great structure, bright and juicy acidity, high abv (16.5%), extra fine tannins.

  Ristorante Borgo Sant’Anna, Monforte d’Alba, excellent repas. Sombre, presque noir, nez poivré, complexe, envoûtant, bouche tannique, fruitée, pleine, les 16.5 % d’alcool sont absolument intégrés, un vin charmeur, magnifique, très beau potentiel
