2022 Ruby Blanca Barbera

This Barbera—a traditionally Italian varietal that is uncommon in locales such as the Walla Walla Valley—is produced by Ruby Blanca Wines using sustainably managed practices. The organically farmed grapes are cultivated on the rightful lands of the Miwok and Pomo People, notably within the Clement Hills AVA in Lodi, CA. In the winery, the fruit is de-stemmed and subjected to partial carbonic maceration as part of a low-intervention winemaking approach.
