Barbera del Monferrato Superiore D.O.C.

The name Barabba is a play on words with the grape variety Barbera. We liked the idea because just as Barabas in the bible was given a second chance, we felt that the Monferrato region also deserved a second chance in the face of other, better known regions.

We consider the wine a worthy ambassador of the region, a rich, fresh, elegant wine with a clear mineral edge.
