Linked to the ancient farming traditions of Piedmont, the Barbera d’Asti evolved to satisfy a wide range of demands and tastes. Thanks to the constant hard work of those who produce it, it is now rightfully considered to be one of the most important red wines both at national and international levels. The Barbera grape variety is the most widely cultivated variety in Piedmont and flourishes with good exposure and cultural care. Rustic and adaptable, reaching a constant good level of production, the grapes ripen quite late (early October). In the provinces of Asti and Alessandria , where it is presumably originates from, this variety benefits highly from a perfect soil and microclimate to maintain and in some cases to favour and flourish from the best possible exposure of the hills.
