Sii Felice! DOCG Nizza Riserva

“Have the courage to be joyful” – this was the creed of Maria Mazzarello, who lived and worked in Nizza Monferrato and is revered like a saint. This Riserva expresses the spirit of this timeless and inspiring message and embodies the excellence and character of the Barbera grape for which this region is famous.
Characteristics
The DOCG Nizza is dedicated exclusively to the Barbera grape. The vineyards are located in the Piedmont region, around the town of Nizza Monferrato, with a distinctive microclimate and fertile soils. The Riserva must mature for at least 30 months, of which at least 12 months in wooden barrels. This extended ageing gives the wine particular complexity and depth. DOCG Nizza covers only a limited number of hectares, resulting in a limited production volume.
Serving suggestion
