2010 Braida Bricco Dell Uccellone Barbera D'Asti

(94 points) Braida fans will not want to miss the 2010 Barbera d'Asti Bricco dell'Uccellone. Focused and vibrant to the core, the 2010 captures the energy of this great vintage in spades. Black cherries, plums, graphite, spices and crushed rocks rush out of the glass in a super-exciting wine bursting with vitality. I suggest serving the 2010 in a large, generous glass, which will help release some of the wine's considerable potential.  Antonio Galloni
