Barbera
Barbera is a dry red wine known for its deep color, low tannins, and high levels of acid. When young, it has an intense aroma of fresh red cherries and blackberries. When aged in toasted or seared oak barrels, the wine can develop an increased complexity in flavor and bring out slight vanilla notes.
