In 2014, with little fanfare, the Nizza appellation in the Asti region of Monferrato in Piedmont was created, giving this Barbera d’Asti sub-area its own, high-quality Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) appellation. It’s now been ten years since this happened, but wine moves slowly — finally, people are starting to talk about this niche region, its high standards, and its truly delicious wines.
While the rest of Italy often sees Barbara as a ubiquitous workhorse grape, people in Nizza cherish and respect it; studies suggest it originated with wild vines in the local Monferrato area. And it’s in the Nizza vineyards where Barbera truly finds the best growing spots, at least according to many producers, sommeliers, and importers.
