RARE GRAPE VARIETAL RESOURCE

Discovered in 1955 by Mario Pezzi, in a vineyard over 100 years old, no longer productive and destined to be bulldozed.

Barbarossa is a grape variety exclusive to Fattoria Paradiso. Its name honors the red-bearded German Emperor Frederick who spent many years in the fortress at Bertinoro that bears his name.

This wine, complex on the palate, has won important awards on the national and international level, not the least of which was the gratifying applause of Bill Clinton at the Niaf Gala in Washington. It ages for 7 to 10 years.
