Barbera

Barbera, located in the heart of Italy's Piedmont region, is one of the country's most celebrated winegrowing areas. Spanning rolling hills and picturesque valleys, Barbera's vineyards cover a diverse array of terroir. The cool, crisp air descending from the Alps plays a major role in moderating Barbera's climate, sending refreshing breezes up to 50 miles southward. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Vineyards closest to the mountains thrive with cooler-climate grape varieties, producing refined and aromatic wines, while further inland, the warmer, sun-drenched slopes yield bigger, bolder reds. This diversity of conditions allows Barbera to produce a wide range of wine styles, each reflecting the unique growing regions of this historic area.
