Discover the grape variety: Barbera blanche
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.

Narrow Californian valley between the Mayacamas and Vaca Mountains, tempered by San Pablo Bay fog, 17 sub-AVAs (Oakville, Rutherford, Stags Leap, Howell Mountain). Cradle of icons Opus One, Screaming Eagle, Caymus.
The wine region of California
Powerful, sunny reds: dense Napa Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, chocolate, tobacco, ample tannins), spicy, jammy Zinfandel from the Sierra Foothills, silky red-fruited Pinot Noir on the cool coast (Sonoma, Russian River, Central Coast). Opulent, buttery Chardonnay, notes of yellow fruit and vanilla. Varied climate, from the hot interior to the Pacific-cooled coast. 80% of US production, 139 AVAs including Napa (1st AVA, 1981).
The word of the wine: Ventilate
Expose the wine to the air before serving, to allow it to open up more, to develop its aromas and to round out its tannins.
