Barbera

Barbera is one of Italy’s most widely planted red grape varieties and is especially associated with the Piedmont region. Known for its deep colour, vibrant acidity, and soft tannins, Barbera produces both easygoing everyday wines and serious, structured examples capable of ageing. It remains a key expression of Piedmontese identity.

Offspring: Albarossa
