Piemonte (Piedmont) occupies most of northwestern Italy, bordering Switzerland in the north and France in the west and almost reaching the Mediterranean coast. Its capital and largest city is Turin (Torino).

In the wine world, Piemonte is best known for the twin titans of Barolo and Barbaresco, along with other popular red wines made from Barbera and Dolcetto, the white Gavi, and sparkling Asti.

It has more DOCGs (17) and DOCs (42) than any other region (see maps: Asti area, Langhe, Monferrato, and northern), but no IGPs. In 2016, Piemonte produced 2.5 million hl (28.3 million cases) of wine, the majority of it (55%) red and 83% at the DOP level. The region’s primary grape varieties are Barbera (31%), Moscato (22%), Dolcetto (13%), and Nebbiolo (10%).

Barbera d'Alba is a red wine produced in the Piedmont region of Italy. The Barbera grape is the most widely planted grape in the region and is known for its high acidity and low tannins. The wine is typically aged in oak barrels for a short period of time, which gives it a smooth and velvety texture.

The history of Barbera d'Alba dates back to the 13th century, when the grape was first mentioned in historical documents. The wine became popular in the 19th century, when it was exported to France and other European countries. Today, Barbera d'Alba is one of the most popular wines in Italy and is enjoyed by wine enthusiasts all over the world.

The production of Barbera d'Alba is strictly regulated by the Italian government. The wine must be made from at least 85% Barbera grapes, with the remaining 15% made up of other approved grape varieties. The wine must also be aged for a minimum of 12 months, with at least 6 months spent in oak barrels.

Barbera d'Alba is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of foods. It is particularly well-suited to rich, hearty dishes such as roasted meats, stews, and pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces. The wine's high acidity also makes it a good match for acidic foods such as tomatoes and citrus fruits.

Overall, Barbera d'Alba is a classic Italian wine that is beloved by wine enthusiasts around the world. Its rich history, unique style of production, and versatile flavour profile make it a must-try for anyone interested in exploring the world of Italian wine.
