You cannot think of the hills of Alba without dwelling on the quality of its Barbera. It is a whole. And you can't think of Ca' Viola without imagining a dinner with friends with a bottle of Brichet to warm the hearts and spirits of all the diners. Created in 2002, it is a classic Barbera, characterized by a nice structure and a hint of acidity that makes it even more pleasant to drink. A wine of tradition that honours one of the most internationally loved grape varieties of the region. In the cellar, it is worked with rigour. Fermented without the use of selected yeasts, Brichet is the result of a 15-day maceration and fermentation in temperature-controlled tanks. This is followed by a year's refinement in large casks and bottling without prior filtration. The result is a wine characterized by an intense ruby red colour with deep violet hues. The nose is a jubilation of red fruits, notes of underbrush and sweet spices. In the mouth, as mentioned, it is pleasantly fresh and drinkable. A very enjoyable wine that gives its best when served at the right temperature, maximum 15/16 degrees, combined with one of the many, good, traditional dishes. With the bollito misto, just to give an example, it is to die for.
