Barbera d’Alba is a red wine based on Barbera, with a permitted contribution from Nebbiolo.
Barbera finds a home among the marl and sand of the Langhe and Roero.
Barbera d’Alba draws its identity from a grape and a landscape together. Barbera leads the blend, with a permitted contribution of Nebbiolo. The specification describes hillside vineyards above the Tanaro, where layered marl and sand help shape the setting. Knowing the Alba origin gives you a precise starting point for exploring Barbera’s Piedmontese wines.
The Superiore requires 12 months of maturation, including four in wood, counted from November 1 of the harvest year.
The grape-production area includes Alba and a defined group of surrounding municipalities, including Barolo, Barbaresco, Canale and Neive. Some municipalities are included in full, others only in part.
