This Nizza DOCG stands as a benchmark for Piedmont's highest quality classification. With 14% alcohol content, it offers a full-bodied and robust structure. Crafted from Barbera 100%, this wine expresses the unique terroir characteristics. It displays rich color intensity with complex aromas and a persistent finish. The fruit is sourced from vineyards located at 230-280 meters above sea level on typical soils called 'sabbie astiane'. South-East/South-West facing. Vinification: alcoholic fermentation in steel vats with maceration on the skins for 10/12 days. The wine is aged in oak casks for 12 months. In bottle for 6 months. A wine true to Piedmont tradition, built for age-worthy elegance.
