Bricco di Nizza Superiore
By Vinory, Nizza, Piemonte, Italy
Barbera d'Asti Superiore from the Bricco di Nizza cru in Nizza Monferrato, aged about 18 months in steel, casks and barriques.
Tasting notes
Ruby red with violet reflections. Intense, rich aroma with typical Barbera scents of cherry and blackberry, plus anise, vanilla and incense; ripe cherry, toasted coffee and vanilla. Gentle tannins and suitably high acidity give a balanced wine.
