Nizza
By Cantine Macrì, Monferrato, Piemonte, Italy
A 100% Barbera Nizza DOCG, long-macerated and aged 12 to 24 months in barriques, 14.5% vol.
Tasting notes
Made from grapes of the most suited vineyards, with the best hillside exposures and low yields per hectare. Great body and notable structure, a very intense garnet red with orange reflections. The nose is rich and complex with berry fruit that becomes delicate with ageing, blending with vanilla notes from the wood.
Pairs well with
Savoury dishes such as game roasts, and cheeses with strong flavours.
