Nizza DOCG Ceppi Vecchi 2017 - 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.

Founded in 1955, the Cantina di Nizza is made up of 200 members for 600 hectares of vineyards located on the hills around Nizza Monferrato. The winery's goal is to transform the fruit of its members' sacrifices into wines capable of satisfying every palate: from fresh Barbera to his majesty Nizza. The large and unique "heritage" of vineyards and the careful selection of the grapes to be delivered, together with a careful and modern vinification, gives life to unique wines that speak of the territory.
