Origin
Barbera d'Alba is produced in the Alba region of Piedmont, Italy, an area renowned for its high-quality red wines. The terroir features calcareous clay soils and a temperate climate ideal for the Barbera grape variety.
Variety
The wine is made exclusively from Barbera grapes, a native Italian red grape variety known for its deep color, vibrant acidity, and fruity character.
Production
The Barbera grapes are hand-harvested and undergo controlled fermentation at moderate temperatures to preserve fresh fruit aromas. The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks to maintain its bright acidity and freshness, with some producers opting for short periods of aging in oak barrels to add complexity.

- Appearance: Deep ruby red color with purple hues.
