Barbera grape variety
Barbera comes from Piedmont and is known for its juicy fruit and lively acidity. Typical aromas include red cherry, plum, violet and a hint of spice. On the palate, Barbera is medium-bodied with low to moderate tannins, making it especially inviting to drink. Aged in stainless steel, it shows bright freshness and precise fruit; a short period in oak adds delicate notes of cedar, cocoa and greater depth. In Stellenbosch, Barbera combines ripe red fruit with good tension and a long, juicy finish. It pairs versatilely with Italian cuisine, ragù, Pizza Funghi, grilled meat and mushroom dishes.
