Red
Il Bacialé
By Braida, Asti, Piemonte, Italy
Il Bacialé means "the matchmaker" in Piemontese dialect. The wine represents an arranged marriage between Barbera and Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, built to age beautifully.
Tasting notes
Il Bacialé, a red blend, shows a deep ruby red color, with an inviting bouquet of red and black fruits, subtle spice, and a touch of savory earthiness. The palate is medium-bodied and well-integrated, with soft tannins and a persistent, flavorful finish. [Profiles: fruity, aromatic, elegant, velvety, complex]
