Penina Barbera

The sparkling wine Penina Barbera is something new on our wine market because it is made out of the red grape variety Barbera.

We have decided for this variety because it is most suitable for the making of sparkling wine since it has higher acid content and a lively, elegant character. It is interesting that the sparkler Penina Barbera is not suitable just as an aperitif but goes well also with food.
