This wine is purple-red in colour. On the nose, it shows fruity aromas of cherry and blackcurrant which are complemented by notes of fresh-cut roses. The palate is full-bodied with harmonious and smooth tannins.

Grapes for this wine come from Nizza Monferrato and surrounding areas. Vineyards are south / south – west facing at 200-300 m above sea level and soil is calcareous clayey marl. Vines are planted with Guyot system and they average 10 to 30 years of age.

Founded in 1955, Cantina di Nizza is a cooperative winery comprising 200 members with 550 hectares of vineyards around Nizza Monferrato. This is an excellent area for Barbera, which constitutes over 60% of the grapes harvested and crushed by the co-op. In Alba, the best sites are dedicated to Nebbiolo, while in Asti this privilege is afforded to Barbera. Director and winemaker Giovanni Chiarle oversees all aspects of production and is determined to make wines that fully express the quality of the grapes he harvests.
