Denomination: Barbera d'Asti DOCG.
Grapes : Produced with 100% Barbera grapes in the vineyard hills owned by Rocchetta Tanaro.
In the cellar: Maceration on the skins takes place at a controlled temperature and lasts 20 days. The wine then passes into oak barrels where it ages for 12 months, then another year in the bottle.
Tasting : Very intense ruby red color with garnet reflections. Rich, complex aroma, of notable concentration and depth; in particular, hints of red fruit and small fruits are highlighted, with some minty spices, vanilla and licorice in the background. Generous flavour, full-bodied and notable structure, perfect amalgamation of the characteristics of the vine and the contribution of the wood, in a combination of great softness and great class, very long aromatic persistence. Accompanies large meat dishes, roasts, even with sauces, mature cheeses.
Service: Serve at 17-18°.

L'Uccellone was the nickname of a woman who lived on the vineyard hill. Her nose was reminiscent of a bird's beak, plus she always wore black: this earned her the nickname in town. Hence the name Bricco dell'Uccellone.
