Bricco della BigottaBarbera d'Asti Docg
Braida
Bricco della Bigotta comes from the winery's best vines located in Rocchetta Tanaro. The name of this Barbera is a tribute to a very pious and devoted old lady who lived near the vineyards. This wine was created after a Barbera-loving cardinal asked the owner to change the name of "Bricco dell'Uccellone," the winery's other wine, because it created embarrassment in the Vatican, but instead of changing the name, a new wine was created.Read moreSold out
