Discover Barbera D' Asti Wines

Barbera d'Asti is a red wine produced in Italy from the Barbera vine. It is grown in the mountainous regions of the provinces of Asti (67 municipalities) and Alexandria (51 municipalities). In 1970, Barbera d'Asti was granted DOC designation, followed by DOCG status in 2008. According to DOCG regulations, a minimum of 90% Barbera grapes must be utilized, with the remainder made up of Freisa, Grignolino, or Dolcetto grapes.

Barbera d'Asti Superiore has been produced since 2000, and the wine must have an alcoholic strength of at least 12.5 percent by volume and be matured for at least 14 months, including 6 months in oak or chestnut barrels. To get a more balanced flavor, several superiore producers refine it in tiny oak barriques. Nizza, Tinella, or Colli Astiani are the sub-zones mentioned on the superiore's label (Asti). The superiore wine has a lot of potential for maturing, and it may easily be matured for ten to twenty years.
