Wines made from Barbera blanche grapes of Colli Tortonesi
Discover the best wines made with Barbera blanche as a single variety or as a blend of Colli Tortonesi.
Crisp, taut whites with a marked acidity, showing discreet aromas of green apple, citrus, white flowers and fresh herbal notes. Neutral and refreshing profile. Preserved in confidential parcels in Piedmont (Monferrato, Alessandria) for its heritage value, subject to ampelographic studies. Very rare autochthonous Piedmontese variety, with no genetic link to black barbera despite the shared name.
Southeastern Piedmont DOC around Tortona, marl-limestone soils. Signature Timorasso as white king (native saved by Walter Massa in the 1980s): structured and mineral with yellow peach, apricot, candied citrus, honey, herbs, almond and a petrol touch at maturity, taut palate and long ageing — nicknamed "Barolo bianco". Historic Barbera in red: juicy and fresh (cherry, plum, spices). Also supple Dolcetto, spicy Freisa, fleshy Croatina.
