Wide revaluation and technical re-enabled the Barbera d’Alba (her diction is a must for women) large and important achievements, which flow from the land where the grapes are grown, technical skill and love of people in the cellar. 11 Ruby red lights with solid colors and reflections cardinal is inviting, the aromas are suggestive for hints of fruit (in youth) or austerity (when ripe) with the fragrance of plum, blackberry, jam, spices and of toast. Palate full and enveloping, with a sharp vein always evident that fragrance and freshness, making it suitable for modern needs of drinking, with a wide match-all cuisines. History In some documents the 1789 Barbera, vine of uncertain origin (although some do go back to the Roman origin of the ‘grapes of the barbarians “) but certainly very old, appears under the name Vitis vinifera Montisferratensis and bonding seems certain in Piedmont medieval families who bear the surname Barberi changed Barbero, Barberis. In the description of late nineteenth century it is spoken very positively, as robust and vigorous plant, capable of withstanding the harsh winter weather and to make production more generous. However the best quality you have with low yield and this is the new trend. The grapes are characterized by relatively late-maturing (almost as Nebbiolo), able to maintain a good acidity.
