Barbera is traditionally the former, Italian indigenous variety that grows only in the areas of Acqui and Alessandria, it is usually used in a blend with other local grapes from Piedmont such as Cortese, Favorita and Moscato. It is usually never vinified on its own. However, the Barbera Sarda which is said to not be a relative of the better known Piedmontese version, Barbera, has good acidity and is usually vinified by itself. It grows near the city of Cagliari, Oristano and Sassari. This is a late maturing grape and produces a solid red quaffing wine.
