History

Nizza DOCG is a relatively recent classification, recognized in 2014, but the wine it represents has a long history in the Piedmont region. The wine is made from Barbera grapes, a variety that has been cultivated in the region for hundreds of years. The Nizza DOCG classification was created to recognize the unique expression of Barbera in the Nizza Monferrato area.
