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.
Small Piedmontese DOC (1970) in the Monferrato Casalese (Alessandria: Gabiano, Camino, Moncestino, Villamiroglio). Barbera (75–90%) as the flagship red: bright ruby, lively cherry, plum, raspberry and floral-spice notes, brilliant acidity characteristic of Barbera, elegant slightly bitter finish. Grignolino and Freisa (≤25%) add fresh floral and peppery touches. Authentic, food-friendly Piedmontese table wine.
