Barbera
Shop Barbera from Alario Claudio at Great Little Vineyards. Compare two Barbera d’Alba releases from Diano d’Alba in Piedmont, Italy. Each listing has its own vintage, tasting description and bottle details, giving you a focused way to explore this producer’s dark-fruited, textured reds.
Choosing Barbera wines
Compare the two releases. The Barbera d’Alba Valetta 2022 listing describes blackberry, plum and dark cherry, with fresh acidity, fine tannins and a savoury finish. The Barbera d’Alba Valletta 2023 listing emphasises ripe blackberry, plum and jam notes, a generous texture and a polished finish. Read both product pages to compare their descriptions and current prices rather than assuming the vintages are interchangeable.
Explore the vineyard and maturation. The 2023 Valletta page identifies the wine as Barbera d’Alba Superiore DOC and describes a two-hectare vineyard at 450 metres in Diano d’Alba. Its winemaking notes record 18 months in French barriques, including 40% new oak. The 2022 listing also describes French-barrique maturation; use its own page for that release’s details. These two releases give you a focused comparison of Barbera from the same producer.
