Most wine lovers root for one or the other as their absolute favourite. But these two varieties are equal in their majesty. Whether you enjoy Nebbiolo’s dry and earthy wines or Barbera’s fruity and smooth wines, there’s so much to learn and enjoy in each bottle.

Learn more about the mountainous region of Piedmont, sipping its best wines and identifying how vineyards' locations, vintages and producers make such an impact on the taste of each wine. Understand the evolution of the Langhe area from the king and queen’s perspective: Barolo and Barbera.

Who is coming?

From Italian “wine lovers” constantly looking for unique and quality labels to Italian “wine geeks”, wine collectors and people curious to discover more about Italy.
