Barbera
Barbera is one of Italy's most famous and widely planted red grape varieties. The grape originates from the Piedmont region, where famous wines like Barbera d'Asti and Barbera d'Alba are produced. Barbera is known for its vibrant fruit aromas, fresh acidity, and soft tannins. This makes the wines approachable, elegant, and exceptionally versatile with food.
In the glass, you often recognize aromas of ripe cherries, blackberries, plums, and red berries, complemented by subtle notes of spices and vanilla when the wine has matured in oak barrels. Thanks to its fresh acidity, Barbera remains beautifully balanced and is an excellent companion to pizza, pasta, risotto, grilled meats, and aged cheeses. Both young and oak-aged Barbera wines offer great drinking pleasure and perfectly demonstrate why this grape has been so beloved for generations.
