Nizza DOCG Ceppi Vecchi 2017 Magnum - Cantina di Nizza

This Nizza DOCG by Cantina di Nizza showcases the epitome of excellence in Piedmontese winemaking. Crafted from meticulously selected Barbera grapes, this full-bodied red wine exudes a rich ruby hue with hints of garnet as it matures. The bouquet is a complex melody of ripe red fruits, underlined by subtle notes of vanilla and spices, thanks to its aging in oak barrels. On the palate, it presents a harmonious balance of acidity and tannins, enveloped in flavors of cherries, plums, and a touch of licorice, leading to a lingering, elegant finish. Ideal for pairing with robust dishes, it complements red meats, aged cheeses, and hearty pastas beautifully.
