| Community Tasting Notes | | Tasted by VDLT Wine on 1/12/2023: This Barbera continues to exceed my rising expectations. It's been 2.5 years since I last tasted it. It remains fresh and the fruit seems actually to be growing in vividness and deliciousness. I think these will age for at least the mid-term on its fruit and acidity. It could potentially develop more complexity even if it is a joy to drink currently.

It has real vibrance and freshness and admirable depth. I struggle to articulate the difference between Barbera from Tortona and those from Alba or Asti but it is apparent to me that there is a real difference. (220 views) |
| Barbera Varietal character (Appellation America) Varietal character (Wikipedia German) Varietal character (Wikipedia English) Barbera is a red wine variety, originally from Italy, which is best known as the second-most important Piedmontese variety after Nebbiolo. The wines made of this grape are mainly the everyday drinking wines of the region. The main appellations producing Barbera are Asti and Alba.
Barbera - The most widely grown red wine grape of Piedmont and Southern Lombardy, most famously around the towns of Asti and Alba, and Pavia. The wines of Barbera were once simply "what you drank while waiting for the Barolo to be ready." With a new generation of wine makers, this is no longer the case. The wines are now meticulously vinified, aged Barbera gets the name "Barbera Superiore" (Superior Barbera), sometimes aged in French barrique becoming "Barbera Barricato", and intended for the international market. The wine has bright cherry fruit, a very dark color, and a food-friendly acidity.Italy Italian Wines (ItalianMade.com, The Italian Trade Commission) | Italian Wine Guide on the WineDoctorPiedmont Vignaioli Piemontesi (Italian only) On weinlagen-info |
