Cantina di Nizza Le Pole Barbera d'Asti 2023

Tasting Notes

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 the 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. This wine is a purple-red in colour. On the nose, this wine shows fruity aromas of cherry and blackcurrant which are complemented by notes of fresh-cut roses. The palate is full-bodied with harmonious and smooth tannins.
