Barbera is a red Italian wine grape variety that, as of 2000, was the third most-planted red grape variety in Italy (after Sangiovese and Montepulciano). It produces good yields and is known for deep color, low tannins and high levels of acid.
Century-old vines still exist in many regional vineyards and allow for the production of long-aging, robust red wines with intense fruit and enhanced tannic content. The best known appellation is the DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) Barbera d'Asti in the Piedmont region: the highest-quality Nizza DOCG wines are produced within a sub-zone of the Barbera d'Asti production area. When young, the wines offer a very intense aroma of fresh red and blackberries. In the lightest versions notes of cherries, raspberries and blueberries and with notes of blackberry and black cherries in wines made of more ripe grapes. Many producers employ the use of toasted (seared over a fire) oak barrels, which provides for increased complexity, aging potential, and hints of vanilla notes. The lightest versions are generally known for flavors and aromas of fresh fruit and dried fruits, and are not recommended for cellaring. Wines with better balance between acid and fruit, often with the addition of oak and having a high alcohol content are more capable of cellaring; these wines often result from reduced-yield viticultural methods.

cada dia que pasa es mas dificil olvidad, y es muy cierto lo que dices que una cosa es querer y otra es amar.
por que an pasado mas de dos años y todo me parece igual, por que cada dia me tengo mas que enamorar.
CORO:
como se puede olvidar a una persona que en mi corazon siempre esta, como se puede olvidad a una persona que en tu vida habita y no te quiere soltar.
por que no te puedo olvidar? si yo vivi contigo mil momentos de felicidad y no por eso te puedo dejar.
que puedo hacer para que te des cuenta de una vez que sin ti mi vida a sido tan cruel.
en mi corazon hay heridas que no sanan llenas de dolor y en cada palpitar dicen tu nombre sin control.
se repite coro
por que no te puedo olvidar?...
