Barbera d'Asti

Wine · PDO · 165 municipalities

Barbera d'Asti DOCG, produced across 165 Piedmontese municipalities including Agliano Terme, is shaped by 437 verified producers. Unlike neighboring denominations, this wine explicitly lacks a 'riserva' designation. Instead, its premium tier is classified as 'superiore,' requiring 14 months of aging with at least 6 months in wood. The disciplinare demands a minimum of 90% Barbera grapes, yielding a dry, full-bodied red with an intense aroma that becomes ethereal over time. For geographic specificity, wines from the Tinella subzone restrict yields to 7 tonnes per hectare and require 24 months of aging.
