Ceretti Barbera d’Asti Superiore Nizza 2017

Tasting note

Nizza represents the best vineyards in the Ceretti family vineyards. Dense, ruby red in colour.  Overall, this wine is complex and balanced, refined, yet intense. Aromas of dark plum and blackberry underpinned by black pepper. On the palate, the spicy and fruity aromas are mirrored, with added notes of cocoa, coffee and herbs. Tannins are supple and supported by fresh, vibrant acidity. An absolute delight.

As the fruit extraction in Nizza is more intense, the wine receives some oak treatment that not only oxygenates the wine, but also enhances the Barbera character with spicy notes.
