Barbera Sarda

This red grape variety comes from the island of Sardinia (Italy). It must not be confused with the varieties Barbera, Barbera del Sannio or Carignan (Mazuelo), despite seemingly suggestive synonyms or morphological or name similarities.

It is grown exclusively in Sardinia, mainly in the provinces of Cagliari, Nuoro, Oristano and Sassari. In 2016, 70 hectares of vines were reported with a decreasing trend (Kym Anderson statistics).
