Barbera

In recent years, people have begun to value Barbera wines, and different styles have been developed, ranging from simple and fruity cheap wines to expensive wines aged in oak barrels.

The variety of styles of Barbera wines stems from the differences in different origins and the preferences of different winemakers. While some winemakers use oak barrels to age Barbera wines to develop complex spice flavors, people prefer the fresh and pure cherry flavors of Barbera itself.
