The Barbera grapes thrive in hot climates. They grow in compact clusters on the vines and ripen late. Some wineries allow the wine to age in oak barrels so that the flavor of oak can seep into the wine. Others add a touch of vanilla and some wineries are not age wine in oak at all, thus preserving the original flavor. In this case, the wine is drunk when he was young so that it retains its complex flavor.
