ROBUR VITAE
The power of life. In the case of Barbera, this is the strength of the vine. A vine that prefers the sun, absorbs it into its bunches and yields this back to the glass in an explosion of surprising scents. Barbera is female and this is how it is represented: as a female-vine, releasing energy and life.
