Barbera Wines

Barbera wines have a centuries long history that can be traced back to Italy, specifically the Piedmont region.

The Barbera grape is known for its high acidity and deep colour, making it an ideal choice for winemaking. The taste profile of Barbera wines can vary depending on the region and winemaking techniques used. Generally, these wines are characterized by their vibrant acidity, medium body, and flavours of red fruits such as cherry and raspberry. They often have a smooth and velvety texture with subtle tannins.

While Italy remains the primary, and best, producer of Barbera wines, the United States, particularly California, has seen an increase in Barbera plantings. Australia, Argentina, and Chile are also emerging as notable producers of Barbera wines.
