Denomination: Nizza DOCG Riserva Grape Variety: 100% Barbera Name: Nizza Alcohol: 15.5° Volume: 0.75L Production Area: Scapaccino (AT), Piedmont, Italy Awards: 92/100 James Suckling Description: The grapes come from the historic vineyard at the Tenuta in Incisa Scapaccino, planted in 1961. After hand-selecting the grapes, usually between the first and second week of October, the grapes are crushed the same evening of the harvest and placed in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures to ferment. Once the alcoholic fermentation is complete, the wine is introduced into 25HL French oak barrels for aging for about 30 months. After bottling, the wine begins aging in the bottle. With an intense and complex aroma of red fruit typical of the grape variety, the bouquet offers hints of blackberries, cherries, and a delicate note of wood. Intense purple-red color. On the palate, it is decisive, full but balanced with a long and pleasant finish. Try it with Tajarin with white truffle, fried porcini mushrooms, or braised beef.
