Barbera–(Bar-BARE-uh) is the most widely planted variety in Italy and has traditionally been the most popular red Italian varietal here in California. Barbera has excellent color and maintains its balanced acidity in both warmer and cooler climates. It develops into a silky, full bodied wine with smooth tannins and bold acidity. Our Barbera, from cool Los Alamos, ripens late and produces a dark, wild cherry-tinged wine with lovely rich fruit character
