Barbera d'Asti DOC
[bar-BEH-rah DAH-stee]
Wines produced in Italy’s PIEDMONT from the vineyards around the towns of Asti, Alexandria, and Casale Monferrato. These wines are generally regarded as slightly less full-bodied (see BODY) than those from BARBERA D’ALBA, even though both are made from the BARBERA grape. They should be drunk young.
