Buy Barbera Wines online from Great Wines Direct

The low hills and valleys of Northern Italy have long been lined with Barbera vines, as it was regarded as a lesser grape to Nebbiolo, so it doesn't get the best vineyard land, such as the south-facing slopes on hills above the 'nebbia' (Italian for fog). However, recently, due to innovations in wine production, the Barbera has had a surge in popularity, due to its easy drinking style and food matching possibilities.

Barbera, despite its humble status, is the ideal 'go to wine' for everyday drinking and it's availability to be savoured whilst young, plus it's also inexpensive!

When seeking a wonderful bargain Italian wine, stop feeling like you have to stick with Chianti, and try Barbera, a delightful and special varietal that will surprise even the most discerning pallet.
