Wines made from Barbera grapes of Lombardia
Discover the best wines made with Barbera as a single variety or as a blend of Lombardia.
Intense, fruity reds with a deep purple robe, supple tannins and an ample palate with characteristically very high acidity, with signature aromas of red fruits (black cherry, morello), ripe plum, spices, violet and Piedmontese balsamic notes. Star of Barbera d'Asti DOCG and Barbera d'Alba DOC, also exported to Argentina (Mendoza) and California. Italian black variety, the third most planted red grape in Italy, originating from Piedmont.
Three poles. Franciacorta DOCG, Italy's answer to Champagne: elegant brioche traditional-method sparklers (Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc), fine bubble and mineral profile. Alpine Valtellina: Nebbiolo (alias Chiavennasca) with fine tannins and red fruits, powerful Sforzato passito. Oltrepò Pavese: fresh Pinot Noir and fruity-sparkling Bonarda.
