While many Piedmont wineries primarily invest in well-known names like Barolo, Barbera d'Alba, and Roero Arneis (the pinnacle of Italian wines), Braida decided to do things differently.

Giacomo Bologna had the early idea of ​​combining these small vineyards into a single entity. However, it was his son, Guiseppe, who ultimately succeeded. It was a considerable undertaking, but 35 notarial deeds later, the Braida winery was successfully transformed into a single winery. The estate encompasses a total of 27 hectares, but only 16 hectares have been planted. Extensive research is being conducted on the remaining vineyards to ensure the best grapes can be planted.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e Buy Braida wine\u003c\/h2\u003e \nBraida's wines have a unique character, with the local Barbera wine particularly scoring high.
