What to Expect

Barbera is one of the classic Grapes of Italy's Piedmont region, though it is popular throughout much of Northwest Italy and has gained a following in California. Searing acidity has been a trait of Barbera though modern viticultural techniques and warmer regions have tamed the acidity, resulting in medium-bodied wines with bright, red fruit tones that feature hints of violets, earth and plum with just a whisper of tannin.

This small family owned winery in the Calaveras County foothills never fails to impress. The Barbera is full bodied, plenty of fruit up front and a nice clean finish to boot. Not as dry as an Italian Barbera from the old world, but that's why California wine is great. Irish Vineyards continues to redefine greatness with each vintage of unique varietals that stand out on their own with distinction.

Agreed - got to visit Irish Vineyards recently and was impressed with everything we tasted. Barbera is a personal favorite and definitely came home with some of Irish's. Robust wine with fruity full body. One of my favorite styles.
