Premium Piedmontese Barbera around Alba (heart of the Langhe). Fleshier, more concentrated reds than neighbouring Asti, with signature notes of ripe black cherry, candied plum, violet and sweet spices, characteristic fresh acidity and round tannins. Frequent barrel ageing (chocolate, vanilla). Generous palate, accessible young, age-worthy Superiore versions.
Clay-limestone soils shared with Barolo and Barbaresco. Ideal companion to ragù pasta and truffles.
Austere, noble reds, pale in colour and quick to turn garnet, with powerful tannins and high acidity, showing aromas of sour cherry, faded rose, tar, white truffle, leather and balsamic notes with age. Outstanding ageing potential. Absolute star of Piedmont with Barolo DOCG and Barbaresco DOCG, also in Roero, Gattinara, Ghemme and Valtellina (Chiavennasca). A late-ripening Italian variety among the world's greatest.
