Faithful in its combination and poetic in its inspiration, Barbera is a Piedmontese par excellence. Isn't the wine in which the "risotto born in the plain" Barbera drown? And to accompany the boiled and mixed baked is perhaps not the Barbera? "Gentle Barbera. Drinking seems to us to be alone in the sea braving a storm," wrote Giosuè Carducci. Today, tasting Grappa di Barbera seems to breathe the scents of a Monferrato forest, between the flowers of wild rosehip and the scent of ripe black cherries.
