Barbera
Barbera is planted extensively in Piedmont and south-west
Lombardy and accounts for over 50% of the wine produced in the region.
The majority is sold simply as Barbera del Piemonte, but the best wines
are the DOCs, Barbera d'Alba and Barbera d'Asti. It ripens late
(after Dolcetto but before Nebbiolo).
The wines are usually ruby red in colour with notably low levels of tannins. They have a pronounced acidity that can be accentuated by overproduction. Barbera wines range from light, tart mouthwashers through to powerfull, intensely flavoured wines that require extended cellaring.

Near their Cocconato base north of Asti the Bava brothers have identified a fine limestone rich vineyard, Cadodo, in which they planted a mix of the indigenous and noble Nebbiolo, the supple Barbera and the more international Merlot. All are labelled under the new Monferrato DOC as a fresh style ... MORE | ||||

You may be more familiar with Barbera d'Alba, the `other' grape of many a Barolo and Barbaresco producer's portfolio, yet one forced to make do with second string vineyards, in deference to Nebbiolo. Barbera d'Asti however has the pick of the best limestone-rich sites, giving perfumed beauties. ... MORE | ||||

Compared to the perfumed, red-fruited 2005, Davide's 2006 exudes a brooding black cloud feel to it, a fleshier, tapenade-cum-licorice character, balanced by Barbera's refreshing, zippy acidity as well as by the minerality that comes with Serralunga's great terroir. This makes for an excellent food ... MORE Drink 2009-2016 . | ||||

In Piedmont, Barbera has always played second fiddle to Nebbiolo, the grape of Barolo & Barbaresco. Now that Barolo prices are so high, the earlier maturing Barbera is coming into its own. One of my great Barbera discoveries comes from Renato Cigliuti. Renato makes exceptional late-picked ... MORE Drink 2008-2016 . | ||||

"The wine's high quality and elegance owes much to the elevated single Santo Stefano vineyard, located in the Monforte d'Alba hamlet of Perno, with its deep iron-rich marl and sandstone soils. Sage and red cherry fruit fruit aromas pepper the very fine nose, while the palate continues in this ... MORE Drink 2008-2013 . | ||||
