Barbera

100% Bar-BER-a

Barbera is actually one of the world’s most planted grape varieties, but excels in quality in cool climates with the best expressions generally found in Piedmont, Italy. The wines are dry with elevated acidity and forward fruit with less tannin than its Piedmontese neighbor Nebbiolo, which often overshadows it.
