mainly limestone, medium depth and resting on rocky matrix limestone-sandstone marl.
Nizza Monferato, a red DOCG wine made with Barbera grapes, whose production is restricted to 18 local municipalities centered on the town.
Nizza vines are sun-demanding and normally occupy the best-exposed slopes that face from southeast to west; the valleys are excluded. The production area is the focus of the so-called Tertiary Piedmont Basin, a hilly region that originated from the lifting of the seabed during the late Tertiary epoch; the soils are calcareous, of medium depth, and characterized by sandy-clay marls and stratified sandstones
