The 2008 Barbera d’Asti Ai Suma, made from late-harvested fruit, is a stunner. Firm yet elegant tannins frame dark blueberries, blackberries, graphite, sweet herbs all the way through to the dark, sensual finish, where sweet mentholated balsamic overtones leave a lasting impression. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2028. These are some of the most exciting wines I have tasted from Braida in a long time. In particular, the 2008 Barbere are exceptional. It’s hard to tell how much of that is attributable to the vintage itself versus winemaking, but the simple reality is that the 2008s are beautiful, elegant, refined Barbere that avoid the excessive heaviness that was common in the past.Importer: Vinifera Imports, Ronkonkoma, NY; tel.
