BARBERA D ALBA D.O.C.

Barbera is the signature grape of Piedmontese wine-maker, a grape variety that has given great satisfaction to vine-grower over the time. A long period of history: from the tavern where our grandparents came to play cards and drink Barbera more rustic, or when it was served during lunch with friends and more fashionable as an aperitif to the present day
