Which grape is used to produce Barbaresco DOCG?

• A. Nebbiolo
• B. Sangiovese
• C. Trebbiano
• D. Garganega

Answer: (A)

Nebbiolo is the grape used to produce Barbaresco DOCG. Barbaresco is a red wine from Piedmont’s Langhe area and is made exclusively from Nebbiolo, which brings the wine its high acidity and firm tannins that soften with age. The grape also contributes the characteristic aromatic profile of Nebbiolo, with notes of roses and tar as it matures. The other grapes listed come from different regions and wine styles: Sangiovese is common in Tuscany, Trebbiano is a white grape used in various Italian whites, and Garganega is the key grape in Soave from Veneto, not Barbaresco.
