Barbera

Sponsor with the world's largest charity for orphans
Barbera is a red strong wine from Piemonte region, Italy. Usually produces an intense red wine with deep color, low tannins and high acid and is used in California to provide "backbone" for so-called "jug" wines. Century-old vines still exist in many regional vineyards and allow production of long-aging, robust red wines with intense fruit and enhanced tannic content.
Joseph Barbera was an animator and co-founder of Hanna-Barbera Productions.
