BAVA Pianoalto Nizza DOCG from Piedmont, a bold and structured Barbera with intense aromas of dark berries, spices, and a hint of leather on the nose, rich flavours of black cherry, plum, and tobacco supported by firm tannins and a long, persistent finish from Piedmont's most prestigious Barbera appellation.
Tasting Notes
Intense aromas of dark berries, spices, and a hint of leather on the nose. Rich flavours of black cherry, plum, and tobacco on the palate, supported by firm tannins and a long, persistent finish. Nizza DOCG is Piedmont's most prestigious Barbera appellation, producing wines of greater concentration, structure, and ageing potential than the broader Barbera d'Asti. Pianoalto is BAVA's flagship expression of the appellation.
