BRAIDA Barbera d’Asti DOCG “Curej” 2023

HK$185.00

The term Curej originates from cureja, meaning a trouser belt or the long belt used in machinery for threshing grain. Curej is the nickname of the family, which looked after the soil since the beginning. The Barbera comes exclusively from the hills of San Bernardo, where the quality of vines is excellent and the soil is unique.

Purplish ruby red colour. Big and expressive, fruity and floral, blue raspberries, fresh cherry, wisteria, blond tobacco and liquorice. A surprising harmony of different scents. The taste is full and dry, sapid and fresh, well balanced among the spicy, fruity and floral notes.

Grape: 100% Barbera

皮埃蒙特

Located, as its name suggests, at the foot of the Alps bordering France and Switzerland, Piedmont is the second largest of Italy’s 20 regions, after Sicily.

Recognized for its industry like Fiat in Turin, Piedmont is also one of the greatest regions in the world in terms of cuisine (don’t forget the white truffles from Alba!) and wine!

With 46 DOC and 4 DOCG, Piedmont has more wine appellations than any other Italian region.

Braida

Braida has been created in 1961 by Giacomo Bologna. He has been recognized as the first winemaker to raise the quality from a traditional table Barbera to a fine wine.

In 1982, Braida launched Bricco dell’ Uccellone, a “Super Barbera”.

The wines were aged in small, French oak barrels in order to compensate for Barbera’s lack of tannins. The result was a deeply flavourful, complex wine out of a variety normally considered to be an acidic filler.

Now, the children, Raffaella and Giuseppe, run the wine estate. They have made Braida one of the most respected wineries in Piedmont.
