La Monella - Braida di Bologna Giacomo

This is the wine that officially launched the story of Braida: the first grapes used to make this wine were grown in the vineyard owned by grandma Caterina, and granddad wrote the words “La Monella” in chalk on the liveliest barrel of Barbera. It’s lively and has never changed, being perfect in its original simplicity.
