Giacomo Bologna defied the general consensus in 1989 by producing a late harvest of Barbera. From that bold gesture was born " Ai Suma ", a new interpretation of Barbera , reflecting the vision and stubbornness of its creator. Since 1989, this wine has been produced only in the best years, testifying to a constant commitment to excellence, thanks also to the numerous awards received .

Tasting : Ai Suma has a very intense ruby ​​red color, enriched by garnet reflections that underline its depth. The enveloping and complex scent offers a wide range of aromas, from ripe fruit to more nuanced notes of vanilla, licorice and cocoa. On the palate, this wine stands out for its full and powerful structure, which combines with a unique elegance and sensuality, guaranteeing a harmonious and persistent experience.

Pairings : Ai Suma is the ideal companion for large meat dishes and roasts, also accompanied by rich sauces. Its versatility also makes it an excellent accompaniment for mature cheeses, thus completing an unforgettable culinary experience.

Biodiversity and productive rigour, genius, imagination and respect for tradition.

Braida is the dream of Giacomo Bologna (Build yourself a large, spacious, well-ventilated cellar / and cheer it up with many beautiful bottles, / these upright, those lying down, / to be considered with a friendly eye on the evenings of / Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, / grinning at the thought / of that man without songs and without sounds, / without women and without wine, / who should live about ten years longer than you) who Raffaella and Giuseppe, with work and dedication, have made a solid reality , happy and loved.
