Description

Barbera from Monferrato differs from that made in Asti or Alba in both its provenance and style. Where Alba and Asti produce strongly structured wines, their Monferrato equivalents are more aromatic and often a little less robust. The Barbera vine is believed to be native to Piedmont, indeed, to the Monferrato hills themselves. The first historical evidence of this grape appears in a 17th-century document preserved in the city hall of Nizza Monferrato. It was also officially mentioned in 1798, in a list of Piedmontese grape varieties drawn up by the deputy director of the Agrarian Society of Turin, Count Nuvolone. He described it as "an imposing wine that is always rather severe but richly and exquisitely perfumed and with a flavour that couples strength with finesse".
