Barbera is one of Italy’s best-loved grape varieties, grown mainly in Piedmont where it’s known for producing wines that are rich in fruit and wonderfully easy to enjoy. The grapes naturally lean towards a vibrant character, often showing flavours of juicy cherry, ripe plum and a gentle hint of blackberry. If you like red wines with a lively feel rather than something overly heavy, Barbera is a fantastic place to start.

One of the reasons Barbera stands out is its typically bold acidity. That fresh structure helps balance the ripe fruit and gives the wine a mouthwatering, food-friendly finish. Many examples are made to be approachable, with smooth tannins and a steady, satisfying depth, while still keeping a bright, refreshing edge.

With its versatility, Barbera works well across a range of occasions, from casual evenings to meals featuring tomato-based dishes, roast poultry, charcuterie or earthy Mediterranean flavours. Explore the range to find styles that suit your taste, whether you prefer a softer, more fruit-driven bottling or something with a little extra complexity.
