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.
