Omar Pedrini, Luigi Veronelli and Barbera Rock
When wine rhymes with rock.
Omar Pedrini, former leader of Timoria and well-known singer-songwriter, has never hidden his passion for wine also due to the meeting and subsequent friendship with Gino Veronelli, one of the most important figures in the history of oenology and gastronomic culture.
Thanks to him he met the Bologna family and the Braida winery and from that meeting a hit song by Timoria was born which he took
I borrow the lines of the famous poem written by Giacomo Bologna: “build a large, spacious, well-ventilated cellar and cheer it up with many beautiful bottles…”. In 2010, embracing a project by Giuseppe and Raffaella Bologna dedicated to the Montebruna label, Pedrini composed a poem that celebrated this Barbera and the historic Rocchetta cru from which the wine takes its name. Thus was born Montebruna Barbera d’Asti renamed for the 2010 vintage “Barbera Rock Braida”.
