About… Barbera.
Barbera is one of the most representative vine of Piedmont and it covers about 30% of the 43 thousands hectares of the vineyards surface of the whole region. It comes from Monferrato, where the vine is cultivated especially in the Asti and Alessandria provinces; it reaches the maximum of its expression thanks to the Barbera d’Asti, a wine, that have been recognised as AOC wine in 1970 and AOCG in 2008. The Barbera d’Asti is a wine strongly bounded to ancient farmers traditions, which today represents a product which evolves and grows continuously following new oenological technologies.
