Like Sangiovese and Montepulciano, Barbera is one of the more popular grape varieties of Italy. It is very productive with tight clusters and large berries. It also benefits from a long, hot, dry growing season. It is not suitable to cold winter temperatures. The wines are a deep, ruby red with higher acidity. This makes it a good wine to pair with food.

Rootstock ONLY is just what is says; "rootstock only." There is no grape variety grafted to it. Use this option if you want to do your own grafting in the field.

But, they look just like a fruiting variety without the maintenance and care that comes with producing fruit. Rootstock varieties are also Pierece's disease resistant.
