    What is Barbera?

    Barbera is one of Italy’s oldest grape varieties and originates from the Piedmont region. The grape is known for its approachability and versatility, making it a popular choice as a house wine in many Italian restaurants. Barbera wines are characterized by their fruity aromas, fresh acidity, and low tannins, which make them particularly easy to drink. This makes the wine suitable for a wide range of dishes and ensures it is frequently served at both casual and formal occasions.

    Barbera Wines: Styles and Production

    Barbera comes in a variety of styles. Depending on where the Barbera grapes are grown and the wine is produced, the styles range from light and fruity to powerful and complex. The most well-known styles are Barbera d'Asti DOCG and Barbera d'Alba DOCG. Barbera d'Asti is renowned for its elegant structure, light style, and fruity flavor, while Barbera d'Alba is often recognized for its richer, fuller style and greater complexity. A Barbera d'Asti is rarely aged, as the focus is on creating a young, fresh wine. In contrast, Barbera d'Alba is sometimes aged in oak barrels to enhance its complexity. As a result, Barbera d'Alba wines can often be stored longer than Barbera d'Asti wines.
