Barbera is one of Italy's most famous grape varieties, being the 5th grape most planted on the peninsula.

While many producers have started growing this grape worldwide, Italy is still its homeland, expressing such grace and complexity to the wine. Thanks to its versatility, Barbera has been planted in many regions and subzones of Italy; therefore, you need to embark on a journey to understand this grape, starting with this class.

Understanding styles, appellations, producers and vintages are the most fun part of this trip. Barbera is also an excellent companion for food and wine pairings.

At the end of this class, you will be able to recognise the principal area of production and the characteristics of this grape and start understanding the potential ageing and styles of this grape-definitely a great beginning of an incredible journey!
