Barbaresco

Information

Barbaresco is a red wine made from the Nebbiolo grape variety. It is produced in the Piedmont region of northwest Italy, specifically in the area around the village of Barbaresco. The wine is known for its complex flavors and aromas, with notes of cherry, raspberry, licorice, and tobacco. It is characterized by its high tannin content, which gives it a firm structure and a long aging potential. Barbaresco is often compared to its more famous neighbor, Barolo, but it tends to be more elegant and approachable in its youth. It is a great wine to pair with rich, hearty dishes like roasted meats and game, as well as strong cheeses.

Fun facts

Barbaresco, often dubbed the "Queen of Wines," hails from the Piedmont region of Italy and is crafted exclusively from the Nebbiolo grape. Legend has it that Barbaresco earned its royal title when the Queen of England declared it her favorite wine during a visit to Italy in the 19th century, sparking a trend among European royalty.
