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.
