Authentic in its pairings and poetic in its inspiration, Barbera is a Piedmontese wine par excellence. Isn't the wine that drowns the "risotto born in the plain" Barbera? And isn't it Barbera that accompanies boiled meats and mixed fried fish? "Generous Barbera. Drinking it makes us feel as if we were alone at sea, braving a storm," wrote Giosuè Carducci. Today, sipping Grappa di Barbera feels like breathing in the scents of a Monferrato forest, amidst wild rosehip blossoms and the scent of ripe black cherries.
