Grape Deep Dive - Barbera

Picture
Air Date: Wednesday, March 27th 2024
Listen to the Podcast!
I’m back with another grape deep dive and this time it’s Barbera! 

I first fell in love with this grape at my local wine shop and now it’s my go-to for pizza night since they pair so well together!

I just love how approachable and fruity this grape is and the fact that you can get an amazing bottle of wine for only $15!

Today, I’ll share with you the mysterious origins and scandalous past of the beloved Barbera grape in Piedmont, Italy. 

From fraudulent winemakers to its transformation in the 1980s, this grape is fascinating and was the catalyst for the more stringent control measures in winemaking that we see today. 

Learn about the vibrant flavors and food pairings that make Barbera a favorite among locals and a perfect match for your next pizza night. 

By the end of this episode I know that you will be excited to try Barbera when you are out shopping for your next bottle of wine! 

Episode Highlights:
  • Mysterious origins of Barbera
  • The scandal involving Barbera and how it led to changes in winemaking
  • The transformation of Barbera
  • Flavor and aroma profiles of Barbera
  • Popular regions for Barbera
  • Recommendations for food pairing with Barbera
