Mixed Case Brilliance of Barbera
Move over Nebbiolo! In most premium Piemonte zones, celebrated reds are obtained by planting Nebbiolo in the best vineyards. But in Monferrato, it has been determined that the grape which responds best to the terroir is Barbera. And the area within Monferrato recognized for producing the most impressive red is Barbera d’Asti DOCG, with three crus receiving the highest recognition… one of these is NIZZA. Nizza is known to have the warmest sites in the hilly region of Monferrato, accounting for its ability to maximize ripeness and fruit concentration, elevating Barbera to new heights.

Carlin de Paolo Cisterna d’Asti D.O.C. Superiore 2017
What a great chance to taste a superior example of the “Croatina” varietal, seldom seen on this side of the ocean. The Cisterna d’Asti DOC is a relatively new DOC, created in 2002 to elevate and highlight the significance of this varietal separate from the more dominant Barbera d’Asti common in the region. The wines must be made from at least 80% of the Croatina varietal.
