The "Bricco della Bigotta" is a great red wine from Braida, Barbera di punta, together with the "Bricco dell'Uccellone", from the famous Monferrato winery founded by Giacomo Bologna. His name is a nice homage to an old lady who lived near the vineyard where Giacomo Bologna cultivated his Barbera grapes, usual for formal and exhibited devotional practices. The story goes that the wine was created after a cardinal, a great lover of Barbera, had asked Giacomo to change the name of "Bricco dell'Uccellone", because it caused embarrassment in the Vatican, where it was very appreciated. In response to the request, Giacomo created a new vineyard and a new label: the "Bricco della Bigotta".
