Barbera

Barbera is a black grape variety that is primarily grown in the Piedmont region of northwest Italy. It is the third most widely planted black variety in Italy and is also grown in other wine regions around the world, including California, Australia, and Argentina.

Barbera grapes are known for their high acidity, low tannins, and intense red fruit flavours. Wines made from Barbera grapes are typically medium-bodied with flavours of cherry, blackberry, and plum. They are often aged in oak barrels to add complexity and depth to the wine.

Barbera is a versatile grape variety that can be used to make a range of wines, from light and fruity to more full-bodied and complex. It is often blended with other grape varieties, such as Nebbiolo, to add acidity and freshness to the wine
