Braida

The name “Braida” began with Giuseppe Bologna, who carried it as a nickname and passed it on to his great grandson, Giacomo Bologna. Giacomo inherited vineyards from his father, as well as an unconditional love for his land and wine. Giacomo ventured to produce a Super Barbera, vinifying the grapes into a quality wine and maturing it subsequently in French barriques, a practice unknown to most at that time. Rafaella and Giuseppe Bologna (named for his ancestor), both oenologists, are the third “Braida” generation and are united by Giacomo's initial dream to elevate the Barbera grape into a noble status which is often reserved only for international varieties. Bricco dell’Uccellone, the flagship wine of the company, has now become one of the world’s leading Italian wines.
