  Wine: Best Producers: Barbera from Italy
Barbera is a grape native to Piedmont, a cool region at the foot of the Italian Alps.
Barbera from Alba is grown in the same general region as Barolo and Barbaresco, and the wines tend to have more power and weight than those grown in neighboring Asti.
Barbera ripens earlier than nebbiolo (the varietal responsible for Barolo and Barbaresco), and is planted in the parts of the vineyard that can't ripen nebbiolo: generally the lower elevations and north-facing slopes.

 Wine: Barbera d'Alba and Barbera d'Asti from top producers in Piedmont, on StarChefs
Barbera, however, is sold primarily under the broad appellations Barbera d’Asti and Barbera d’Alba; it gets the middle ground – not the hillcrest, but not the valley.
Barbera in particular is very flexible with food; high acidity and low tannins mean it's able to stand up to meat but still pair well with fish and tomato sauces.
Barbera makes dark wines that are low in tannins –; an unusual combination, since both color and tannins come from the skin of the grape, and the opposite of the orange-tinged, paler Nebbiolo with its immense, weighty tannins.

 Wine Reviews Barbera
Barbera is grown in almost every winemaking region of Italy but nowhere is it better known than in northwestern Piemonte where it is often called “the third B”, always listed after its big brother and sister Barolo and Barbaresco.
Barbera wears many hats – sometimes it’s a cheap and cheerful quaffer, at other times it’s the face of scandal (as in the 1985 methanol catastrophe) and in the past twenty years, it has reinvented itself yet again as a wine to be taken seriously.
Inexpensive Barberas are definitely available on the market and some of them are very good, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with treating this variety as well as one would treat any good Nebbiolo, if given the opportunity and necessary resources.

There is a proliferation of Barberas produced within Piedmont, designated according to geographic area, as well as a number of new wines based on the Barbera grape which are vinified white, rose and sparkling in various degrees of sweetness.
Although the Barbera vine is believed to have originated in the Monferrato area from a spontaneous cross of seeds from ancient vines, it is generally agreed that the area producing the best Barbera wines is that of Asti.

 The American's Contents - March 2005 'B' For Barbera
Barbera is now flourishing all over the world, grown by nostalgic Italians in Argentina, Australia, South Africa, and the United States.
Until the mid-1990s, Barbera was still the most commonly planted grape in Italy (it is now second behind Tuscany’s Sangiovese) and to this day around half the vineyards in Piedmont are planted with hearty Barbera, which can grow under conditions that would make the more temperamental Nebbiolo suffer.
But the classic Barbera uncomplicatedly carries the name of the producer along with the region, and is a simple and slightly rustic wine that can stand up to anything from pizza with anchovies to grilled meat.
