Ep 229: The Grape Miniseries, Barbera
A grape that MUST be in your arsenal, especially if you like Italian food, Barbera is diverse, food friendly, and darn tasty. The trick to the grape is to figure out the style you like and the place it's made. In this podcast we cover it all!
Overview:
Barbera is one of Italy's top 5 most planted grapes, one of the 15 most planted in the world! 60%+ is in Piemonte, but it's found in almost every region We have no real idea of the parentage, but we know it's not related to the other Piedmont grapes...a strange anomaly that needs more investigation!
About the Grape
Large bunches, oval, very dark blue berries – darkest of all the reds of Piemonte Productive, ripens late, can get out of control quickly so pruning is a must. Even at high yields it tastes ok because of its acidity Drought resistant, versatile in many soil types, adaptable
The Wine
The best are bright with good acid, cherry notes, earth, spice, low tannins With barrel age the wine can be plummy, round, softer and more complex -- oak can beef up the wine Barbera is a good blender but on its own can be tasty although it needs food There is A LOT of variety in winemaking and character Producers: Great producers of Barolo and Barbaresco make good Barbera Giacomo Conterno, Braida, Marchesi Gresy, Vietti, Paolo Scavino, Giuseppe Mascarello, La Spinetta, Gaja Famed wine: Bricco dell'Uccellone

Truffle hunting in Tuscany: November 1992, my grandfather and his dog!
truffleintuscany.it - Tuscan Truffle Academy
My name is Massimo and I am a truffle hunter; I was born in 1974 in San Miniato, a small medieval town located in the heart of Tuscany and deservedly listed as one of the undisputed capitals of the White Truffle (Tuer Magnatum Pico). My grandfather, Lino, called “I’ Mencacci”, gave me the love for nature and an intense passion towards this diamond of the land so sought-after and coveted by gourmets from all over the world. It was him, one of the first truffle hunters with capital “T”, to tell me legends, anecdotes, stories about truffle and truffle hunters and now I feel I have to share such a treasure with those who want to discover a tradition otherwise just reserved for few connoisseurs.

SUMMARY
=======
Barbera is a red Italian wine grape variety that, as of 2000, was the third most-planted red grape variety in Italy (after Sangiovese and Montepulciano). It produces good yields and is known for deep color, full body, low tannins and high levels of acid.Century-old vines still exist in many regional vineyards and allow for the production of long-aging, robust red wines with intense fruit and enhanced tannic content. The best known appellation is the DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) Barbera d'Asti in the Piedmont region: the highest-quality Nizza DOCG wines are produced within a sub-zone of the Barbera d'Asti production area. When young, the wines offer a very intense aroma of fresh red cherries and blackberries. In the lightest versions notes of cherries, raspberries and blueberries and with notes of blackberry and black cherries in wines made of more ripe grapes. Many producers employ the use of toasted (seared over a fire) oak barrels, which provides for increased complexity, aging potential, and hints of vanilla notes. The lightest versions are generally known for flavors and aromas of fresh fruit and dried fruits, and are not recommended for cellaring. Wines with better balance between acid and fruit, often with the addition of oak and having a high alcohol content are more capable of cellaring; these wines often result from reduced-yield viticultural methods.
