The Barbera d'Alba DOC Superiore, a remarkable wine made from 100% Barbera grapes by Tenuta Baràc in the charming Comune of Treiso. The vineyard is located at a height of 300 meters, facing west, and the soil is grey marl. The grapes are harvested at the end of September and undergo a careful one-year aging process in large French oak barrels. This results in a wine with a dark ruby-red color and violet hints. The aroma is intense, with black fruit flavors like plum and black cherry, along with subtle hints of vanilla and cloves. The taste is full-bodied, with light tannins, and the finish is long and refreshing. This Barbera d'Alba pairs well with meats and medium-aged cheeses, offering a delightful dining experience. Each sip captures the essence of Treiso's terroir and showcases Baràc's dedication to winemaking.

Region

Piemonte

Piemonte’s terroir is shaped by its diverse landscape, with the Alps to the north and the Apennines to the south, creating a continental climate with cold winters, warm summers, and significant temperature shifts between day and night. These conditions help the grapes develop acidity, structure, and aromatic complexity. The region’s soils vary widely, influencing the character of its wines. In the Langhe, marl and clay with limestone-rich areas give Nebbiolo its power and aging potential, while Monferrato’s mix of sand and calcareous soils results in softer, fruitier expressions, particularly for Barbera and Dolcetto. Further north in Alto Piemonte, ancient volcanic and glacial deposits create mineral-rich soils that enhance Nebbiolo’s freshness and elegance. Rolling hills, foggy mornings, and well-drained soils across the region contribute to Piemonte’s ability to produce refined, long-lived wines that express a strong sense of place.
