Today in Part 2 of our conversation with Norbert Reinisch from Braida Winery. We now journey into the fascinating world of Barbera, the grape variety that has seen a revolution due to Braida’s founder, Giacomo Bologna who believed in this grape when so many others had pigeon holed it as ‘just for cheap wine production’. His dedication to experiment and innovate with barriques has led to their flagship wine Bricco dell’Uccelone being one of the most famous Barberas being made.
By the end of this episode, you'll acquire a nuanced understanding of its bright acidity, lush fruit notes, and the diverse expressions it unveils. We navigate through the regions where Barbera thrives and gain insights into its slightly checkered history – a narrative that adds layers to its story and deepens our appreciation for the profound connection between Braida Winery and Barbera.
