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.

Winemakers Notes

Varietal Composition: 100% Barbera
15.0% Alc. 0.67 g/100ml TA 3.39 pH
Oak Regime: 42% American Oak 58% French Oak

Barbera has become my fastest selling wine. For the past three years the vintage of Barbera has sold out within 60 days of release. I attribute the popularity of this wine to the unique balance of rich ripe fruit flavors, soft full tannins and brightness due to the high acid inherit in Barbera. Barbera is a delight to produce and is an ideally suited varietal for the Sierra Foothills and Amador County, perhaps even more so than Zinfandel.
