Barbaresco Wines : Key Points

Barbaresco is an emblematic appellation of Piedmont, in the north of Italy, covering 500 hectares of vineyards. Barbaresco can be produced in 3 communes: Barbaresco, Neive, Treiso and Alba.

A small DOCG (denominazione di origine controllata e garantita) appellation, Barbaresco is famous for its many producers who own family estates handed down from generation to generation.

Barbaresco is one of the world's great wines and is made from the Nebbiolo grape, as is Barolo. Barbaresco wines have a very pale ruby colour when young, evolving to a roof-tile colour. The aromatic bouquet offers notes of dried flowers reminiscent of roses and violets, and slight spice notes with cinnamon hints. On the palate, Barbaresco wines have a solid tannic structure that softens over time. Great wines for ageing, Barbaresco wines have exceptional elegance and finesse.
