Barbera d'Alba is a red wine from the Piedmont region in northern Italy. This wine is made from the Barbera grape, which is traditionally widely grown in this region. Barbera d'Alba is known for its lively acidity, fruity flavor profile and supple tannins.
The term "d'Alba" refers to the specific production area, namely the Alba region within Piedmont. Alba is a town in Piedmont known for its wines, including the famous Barolo and Barbaresco.
Barbera grapes thrive in the Piedmont region and are used to produce both simple, approachable wines and more complex, bolder wines. Barbera d'Alba is often more accessible and less tannic than, for example, the Nebbiolo grape, which is used to produce wines such as Barolo and Barbaresco. It is a versatile wine that goes well with various dishes and is easy to enjoy in its youth.
