Barbis - The Sparkling Red Rebel by Dogliotti 1870

Unique craftsmanship in every bottle

Dogliotti 1870's Barbis redefines the traditional wine experience by boldly merging the distinguished Barbera grape with a hint of Moscato juice, both harvested from the prestigious DOCG hills of Piedmont. Despite its DOCG-worthy origins,

Barbis embraces a DOC classification, daringly defying the conservative wine standards that find it too avant-garde. This sparkling red wine, with its untraditional blend, is a testament to Dogliotti's creative and rebellious spirit.

The meaning behind 'Bar-Bis'

The name Barbis cleverly encapsulates several layers of meaning:

Bar: Short for Barbera, reflecting the type of grape used and showcasing the wine's Piedmontese roots.
Bis: This word carries a dual significance. In Italian, it is used in performances to call for an "encore" or "again," suggesting that this wine is so delightful that one glass calls for another. Additionally, in local Piedmontese slang, 'bis' translates to 'moustache', whimsically describing the frothy red moustache formed when sipping the wine. This playful aspect makes Barbis not only a wine but an experience that invites enjoyment and repetition.

Serving and Pairing

Barbis is best served well-chilled at 6-8°C in a simple drinking glass, breaking away from traditional wine service to enhance its character. This wine is ideal as an aperitif or paired with light, fresh dishes, providing a vibrant complement to any meal.

If you ask the Dogliotti staff themselves, they’ll tell you that Barbis suits all types of food—or even no food at all! On a sunny, warm terrace, with your sunglasses on, enjoy Barbis just as it is.

Cin cin e goditi il Barbis!

Dogliotti 1870's Barbis challenges the conventions of Italian winemaking, crafting a wine that not only tastes exceptional but also carries a message of innovation and individuality.

Perfect for those who celebrate the unconventional and seek to explore beyond the traditional, Barbis promises a tantalizing journey into the world of sparkling reds.
