Cantina di Nizza’s wines are Barbera d’Asti DOCG. ‘Le Pole’ hails from vineyards surrounding Nizza at 200 - 300 metres above sea level, planted on a mixture of calcareous clays and marls. Handpicked in the second half of September, the grapes are transported to and crushed at the co-op. Fermentation lasts no longer than ten days, at a maximum temperature of 28ºC. Malolactic fermentation starts straight after alcoholic fermentation is completed. After a few months, the wine is ready for early bottling, preserving the vibrancy of Barbera at its best.

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.
