Barbera quality began to improve from the 1980s on. Mouthfilling rich wines packed with flavours have been made by planting barbera in better sites, limiting the yield, and aging the wines in better barrels.
Barbera is a wine grape that grows in part of Italy’s Piedmont region. The grape is planted also in several other places around the world, but the greatest Barberas come from Piedmont, Italy.
The wine produced by Barbera grapes has a light, fruity taste and a fresh, crisp finish.
Barbera wines are typically light in color, but they can also be dark when they are made with a grape variety called Malvasia bianca (also known as Malvasia del Chianti). Barbera wines tend to be fairly acidic and have low alcohol content.
Barbera is a versatile grape that can be used to produce an array of wines, from dry reds to sweet dessert wines. Barbera grapes are most often found in Italy, but they can also be found in France and Spain.
Barbera tastes like cherry and plum on the palate, with notes of spice and strawberry.
As for the pairing, Barbera is best enjoy with tajarin (with shaved truffles is even better) – the Piedmontese pasta, Guinea fowl or porcini stew. It pairs also very well with dark meats, mushrooms, herbs, blue cheese, root vegetables, and braised greens.
You can also try it with dishes containing sage, nutmeg, and Ras el Hanout to make the matching flavours in the wine stand out.
Other names include Barber a Raspo, Barbera a Peduncolo, Barbera Amaro, Barbera Crna, Barbera Forte, Barbera Mercantile, Barbera Nera, Barbera Nostrana, Barbera Riccia, Barbera Rissa, Barbera Rosa, Barbera Vera, Barberone, Barbexinis, Besgano, Cosses Barbusen, Gaietto, Lombardesca, Perricone, Pignatello and Ughetta.
