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.
