Barbera is the piedmontese grape for excellence, synonymous of tradition and daily protagonist of rural local world. This wine has a surprising olfactory finesse and sweetness.
The precious ruby color confirms the maturity of the grapes at harvest time and anticipates the ripe fruit and licorice notes that we find in our mouth. It smoothly wraps the mouth and leaves a pleasant warm sensation that remind to velvet.

Nothing is more suitable than a classic cheese fondue on a pumpkin or topinambur pie, or a homemade lasagna made following the grandmother’s recipe or a grilled beef fillet to accompany a bottle of Barbera d’Alba D.O.C. Cascina Ghercina.
Robust, productive, intense red-coloured fruits, barbera is the most popular vine in Piedmont, for both surface and for territory.
Its clusters have compact structure, while in autumn its leaves are tinged with red colour that makes our hills shine.
