By Corte San Pietro, Nizza, Piemonte, Italy
A Nizza DOCG made from 100% Barbera, fermented with a ten-day maceration and aged in French oak.
Tasting notes
Intense ruby with purple reflections. The nose offers wild berries in jam, plums, dark chocolate, dried red rose and a slight hint of coffee. On the palate great acidity and alcoholic weight are in balance, pointing to a long life ahead.
Pairs well with
Traditional: boiled meats, finanziera, braised dishes and aged goat cheeses. Vegetarian/vegan: aubergine parmigiana, polenta with porcini mushrooms.

- Vinification
- The grapes are destemmed and softly crushed, then fermented at controlled temperature. A ten-day maceration extracted the colour and structure suited to long keeping. After racking, malolactic fermentation took place in steel tanks, and the wine then moved to French oak barrels for ageing.
