Barbera (Italy)
- PIEDMONT, ITALY
- Piedmont is in North Western Italy at the foothills of the Alps, sharing borders with France and Switzerland. There are two key factors that impact the climate in Piedmont: the cool Alps and the balmy Mediterranean. These two factors create extreme day and night temperature differences known as diurnal range. Cold nights, foggy mornings and sun-kissed days make for excellent grape growing conditions. The Barbera vines are often planted on the warmer south facing slopes to help ensure optimal ripeness.
