Barbera d'Alba
Rocca - Giovino

Barbera is the most representative Piedmontese grape variety thanks to its ability to ripen well in all weather conditions. It is medium-bodied , smooth and always very winey, with a good support of acidity. As a young wine, it shows fresh fruit and a refreshing bite of almonds; after one or two years of bottle aging it shows more complexity and the maturity of its full robust character with blackcherry and tar flavors. These Barbera grapes are grown on a gently rolling hill in Altavilla d’Alba, in the heart of the Langhe facing the renowned hill of Barbaresco. Thanks to its versatile features, Barbera goes well with most kinds of food and can easily accompany every course of the meal. .
