Cantina Di Nizza Magister Barbera D’Asti Superiore

PRODUCER NOTE

Founded in 1955, this co-operative is comprised of 200 members with 550 hectares of vineyards around Nizza Monferrato. This is an excellent area for Barbera, which constitutes over 60% of the grapes that are harvested and crushed by this co-op. In Alba, the best sites are given to Nebbiolo, but in Asti this privilege is afforded to Barbera. Director and winemaker Giovanni Chiarle oversees all aspects of production and is determined to make wines that fully express the quality of the grapes that he harvests.

TASTING NOTE

This wine has aromas of plums and cherries and hints of dried fruit from the ageing process. The wine has a rich and supple palate with a refreshing acidity and high concentration of flavours.
