NIZZA DOCG

The new Nizza DOCG, established in 2014, offers Barbera wines of exceptional quality, produced according to a very strict set of regulations. The wine shows an intense ruby-red color. The nose is intense and complex, with red fruit aromas typical of the variety, and notes of strawberry, cherry, blackberry, and sour cherries in spirit. On the palate, it is velvety, harmonious, fresh, and marked by vibrant acidity, with a grand and pleasant finish. A beautiful balance between fruity aromas and alcoholic warmth.
