The red wine variety Barbaroux comes from the south of France , where it is approved in the appellations of Côtes de Provence and Cassis and in some vineyards in Corsica . It is very old and used to be widespread. The light berry variety produces aromatic red wines with low acidity, a medium alcohol potential and good aging facilities. However, it needs fertile soil and a warm climate. Since it is very susceptible to raw rot and powdery mildew , the population of the area planted with Barbaroux is constantly decreasing. It is often used as a table grape for private consumption .

In Piedmont and Emilia-Romagna the variety is called Barbarossa and was rediscovered in the municipality of Bertinoro near Forlì and selected for conservation breeding.
