Barbera is a grape from Piedmont, a region at the foot of the Italian Alps. It tends to produce fragrant wines of moderate weight. This variety alone is the grape used in over 50% of Piedmont’s vineyards. Barbera from Alba is grown in the same general region as Barolo and the wines tend to have more weight and power than those grown anywhere else. In addition, they tend to share the same aromatic characteristics as their more famous cousins, Barolo and Barbaresco, with a greater tendency towards fruit flavora. Barbera is a vigorous variety with a constant and relatively abundant yield. It displays good resistance to bad weather, it also ripens late and the grapes are not gathered until late in October. Barbera is viewed as an every day wine that is an excellent introduction to the style of Piedmonte. Wine Italian Still Wine
