Nizza Riserva DOCG 2016 Aresca

The Nizza DOCG is the most important Barbera-based denomination in Piedmont. The production of Nizza is allowed in only 18 municipalities around Nizza Monferrato, an area considered particularly suited for the cultivation of the Barbera grape. The regulations require vineyards with the best exposure (from southeast to southwest), very low yields of grapes per hectare (7 t/ha), and a minimum aging of 30 months, of which at least 12 months in wood. Maceration on the skins for at least 15/18 days. Fermentation at controlled temperature at 28-30 °C. Aging for 12 months in wood and at least 6 months in bottle before being put on the market.
