Barbera d'Alba is a beloved traditional wine from Piedmont in Northwestern Italy. Often casually mistaken for its Nebbiolo based neighbor Barbaresco, Barbera D’Alba is produced using primarily the varietal form which it derives its name— Barbera. Production regulations do however allow Barbera d'Alba to be made with a small percentage (up to 15%) of Nebbiolo of in an effort to increase its finesse and elegance of structure and fruit character.

This tannic, dry, medium+ bodied wine from Marchesi di Barolo presents a ruby primary color with undertones of purple. An aromatically expressive nose of blackberries, red fruit jam, and spicy scents of leather and toasted hazelnut lead to a well-rounded drinking experience.
