Braida Ai Suma Barbera d'Asti 2021 Wine (75cl)

The description below comes from the retailer. Bottle details and price comparisons are listed above.

Very deep ruby red colour with garnet highlights. Ample, rich and complex bouquet with numerous scents of fruit and a background of vanilla, liquorice and cocoa notes. Full, powerful flavour with a great structure, yet elegant and sensual at the same time, harmonious and very persistent. Ideal with roasts and meat dishes, also with sauces, and mature cheeses. The Ai Suma, a rare gem made only in the most exceptional vintages, is a paradox in a glass. This opaque late-harvest Barbera may seem imposing, but it's a bear hug of a wine, with blackberry compote, dried violets, star anise and fresh vanilla melding together in harmony. Lush and mouth-filling, it's a powerhouse with restraint, thanks to well-structured tannins and lifting acidity. Drink from 2026.Cellar Selection Plum, blackberry, chocolate, spicy pipe tobacco and earth flavors mark this dense, muscular red. Compact and burly on the finish for now, where a bitter almond note emerges. This improved with air, so decant now or age for a few more years. Best from 2026 through 2036.
