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.
DOC of Emilia-Romagna at the far west (Piacenza), a tradition of red frizzante. Star Gutturnio: a dry or sparkling red blend of Barbera (55-70%, lively cherry-and-plum acidity) + Croatina (black-fruit density and a peppery touch), fresh tannins and a light fizz - the Emilian aperitif with charcuterie. Also Bonarda, firm Cabernet Sauvignon, fine Pinot Noir. Fresh whites: aromatic Malvasia (rose, muscat), Trebbiano, lively native Ortrugo, Sauvignon, Chardonnay.
