Buy Barbera Wine Online

Looking back at this variety’s history, Barbera wine was originally pressed in Piedmont, located in the northern Italian region – an area famous for the production of other great wines such as Barbaresco, Nebbiolo, and Barolo wines.

These days, the drop carries a popular nickname: ‘The People’s Wine’ – simply because it is both affordable and of great quality. 

The Barbera red grape is widely planted in Italy. The grapevines also produce very high yields, where they tend to flourish in clay and calcareous soils. 

Typically featuring a deep-purple colour, these grapes also demand plenty of maintenance to create A-grade crops – for example, they need regular pruning to avoid poor quality.

Tasting notes of Barbera wine

Commonly very light in taste and quite dark in colour, this variety contains several flavours and distinct notes ranging from highly acidic hints, raspberries, cherries, strawberries and minimal tannin. You can expect this drop to be more tart than other Italian wines.

This option is also often consumed at a young age and it isn’t uncommon to notice a strong aroma of blackberries at that early phase. Meanwhile, toasted Oak Barrels can sometimes be added for aging purposes. 

If you’re not sure if this vino is right for you, consider it similar to Syrah. As it’s dry and non-sparkling, it makes for a bold, yet easy-to-drink option for both beginner wine enthusiasts and professionals alike.

Finally, Barbera wine is known for its refreshing taste, moderate alcohol levels and its juicy, light-bodied palate.

What foods can you pair Barbera wine with?

This drop is commonly filled with high acidity and low tannins, meaning you can perfectly enjoy this aroma-rich wine with foods such as meat and cheese. We find it best enjoyed with rich, classic cuisines like pasta or even truffle risotto – for the full Italian experience.

Nothing complements a rich dish better than the right acidity level in Barbera wine, where it easily cuts through with different flavours to provide a unique tasting experience.
