Grape Variety: Barbera

Barbera is a red wine grape variety that is widely planted in Italy. It is particularly associated with the Piedmont region, where it is the primary grape used in wines such as Barbera d’Asti and Barbera d’Alba. Barbera wines are known for their deep color, low tannins, and high acidity. The grape is also grown in other wine regions around the world, but it has its strongest presence in Italy.
