The name Bricco dell'Uccellone comes from the nickname that the townspeople gave to a woman who lived in the hillside of the vineyards, her nose resembled a bird's beak, plus she always wore black. Bricco dell'Uccellone is the wine that revolutionized the way we look at Barbera, which has always been considered a grape for light and simple wines, but with this wine has demonstrated the ability to make complex and structured wines.

Il nome Bricco dell’Uccellone deriva dal soprannome che la gente del paese diede ad una donna che viveva nella collina delle vigne, il suo naso ricordava il becco di un uccello e in più vestiva sempre di nero. Il Bricco dell'Uccellone è il vino che ha rivoluzionato il modo di vedere la Barbera, da sempre considerata un'uva per vini leggeri e semplici, ma che con questo vino ha dimostrato la capacità di realizzare vini complessi e strutturati.

Bricco della Bigotta comes from the winery's best vines located in Rocchetta Tanaro. The name of this Barbera is a tribute to a very pious and devoted old lady who lived near the vineyards. This wine was created after a Barbera-loving cardinal asked the owner to change the name of "Bricco dell'Uccellone," the winery's other wine, because it created embarrassment in the Vatican, but instead of changing the name, a new wine was created.
