2026 Premium Barbera Grapes - Shenandoah Valley
Grapes
Sierra Foothills/Amador County/Shenandoah Valley


Exceptional Barbera from a distinguished Shenandoah Valley hillside vineyard. These low-yielding vines, planted in 1992 from the original Montevina rootstock collection, carry significant heritage provenance — Montevina was among the Shenandoah Valley's pioneering Italian varietal producers, making this fruit traceable to the region's founding plantings.
Rolling terrain and optimal hillside exposure deliver concentrated flavors and naturally balanced ripening. Meticulous canopy management and hand-harvesting ensure perfect cluster selection and gentle handling from vine to bin.
Ideal for winemakers seeking authentic, old-vine California Barbera with depth, structure, and a compelling story.
