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.
