The 2007 Monferrato Rosso Il Baciale offers up soft, floral red fruit in a feminine, approachable style. This blend of 60% Barbera, 20% Pinot Noir 10% Cabernet and 10% Merlot is a consistently delicious red from Piedmont’s Monferrato. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2014. Braida is best known for their high-end Barberas – Bricco dell’Uccellone and Ai Suma in particular – but these entry-level wines deliver tons of pleasure at far more accessible prices.Importer: Vinifera Imports, Ronkonkoma, NY; tel.
