This elegant wine by Braida praises the denomination Monferrato Rosso DOC. It is a blend composed by 60% Barbera, 20% Pinot Noir, 10% Sauvignon and 10% Merlot. The vineyards are spread in different areas of the DOC, around Castelnuovo Calcea and Rocchetta Tanaro. The wine-making considers that the grapes are treated separately, with alcoholic fermentation in inox and the malolactic one in wood. The aging is developed in wooden barrels for 12 months. The assembly is followed by 4 months maturation in the bottle. Bacialè, in the local dialect, means the man who arranges weddings. In fact, this wine represents the perfect wedding of the grapes that compose it. Bacialè by Braida di Giacomo Bologna is a balanced, harmonious wine, perfect for a dinner with friends.
