Nizza Riserva DOCG, Tenuta Olim Bauda, Piedmont, Italy

Tasting Note Only made in truly excellent years. Deep purple in the glass, with a rich, complex nose perfumed with the red berry fruits typical of Barbera. Firm and full on the palate yet well balanced, with a persistent, enticing finish. Grapes 100% Barbera How to Drink Perfect with roasts and slow-cooked stews. Producer Information Tenuta Olim Bauda is a secluded family estate in the hills of Piedmont, found at the end of a long, winding drive off the busy Via Prata. It is run by siblings Dino, Diana and Gianni, who devote themselves to fresh, expressive Barbera d'Asti and pure, vibrant Gavi, made in the most delicate, low-intervention way. The estate works its vineyards organically, without chemical weedkillers. Production Information From the Nizza vineyard at the winery in Incisa Scapaccino, with yields kept below 45hl per hectare. The grapes are hand-picked in early October and pressed the same evening, then fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel. The wine is aged for 30 months in large 25hl French oak botti before release.
