Barbera d’Asti Superiore Nizza docg Oddero 2017

The Barbera d'Asti Superiore Nizza of Oddero is an intense red wine made with Barbera grapes grown in the Scrimaglio area in Nizza Monferrato. Since the 2014 vintage, this Barbera Superiore has changed its name to Nizza docg. The wine shows a beautiful intense ruby red color tending to garnet, while the nose develops fruity and composite aromas, with hints of ripe red fruit and cocoa, coffee and spices on the finish. The Barbera d'Asti Superiore Nizza of Oddero is perfect to drink in combination with tasty second courses of red meat, such as roasts and braised meats, or with the "bagna cauda", a traditional Piedmontese course.

All along Oddero family is owner of vineyards, so it is very difficult to establish a precise beginning of the wine making process. Lorenzo and Luigi started to produce wine at the end of 800, starting from their vineyards of La Morra. Giacomo Oddero, grandfather of the present manager of this cave, took part of the International Exposition of Torino in 1991, where he proposed his Barolo wine. Presently the winery is carried on by Mariacristina and Mariavittoria, who have inherited by their father the cult of wine and its origins.
