Introducing RARECAT Blanc de Barbera, a delightful sparkling wine made from 100% Barbera grapes. Although our team has 80 years of combined experience making wine in Napa, none of us had ever crafted a Blanc de Barbera. The idea originated in the vineyard during a conversation with Gio, our Italian grape grower. He described Barbera as having low tannins, high acidity, and great aromatics. As a champagne producer who makes Blanc de Noir from Pinot Noir grapes, it sounded like the perfect variety for sparkling wine. Fortunately, this exciting experiment was a home run!
