Barbera d'Alba

The elegant tradition of Barbera d'Alba

Barbera d'Alba embodies the authenticity of the Barbera grape, a black berry variety that is the symbol of Piedmont and Italian winemaking art. This prized type finds its roots in the province of Cuneo, in the Alba area, and is protected by strict production standards. The use of the term 'Superiore' is reserved for bottles that have matured at least one year in wooden barrels. If in the past this drink was considered simple and rustic, in recent decades it has undergone an astonishing qualitative renaissance, achieving high levels of expression consistently characterised by an unmistakable and elegant freshness.

Craftsmanship in cultivation helps preserve its authenticity, while modern oenological techniques reveal its untapped potential.
