Vegia
By Cascina Garitina, Nizza, Piemonte, Italy
Vegia is Cascina Garitina's single-vineyard Nizza DOCG from the vine planted in 1958 in the highest, southern part of the Gianola cru, on light, compact Serravalle sandstone.
Tasting notes
Sandstone soil and the Barbera grape give an elegant, vertical, well-balanced Nizza already in its youth, with good ageing potential.
