The taste is characterized by a harmonious blend of velvety tannins and acidity, making it well-balanced and enticing. With aging, it develops a more rounded taste and a refined complexity.

History

Sizzano DOC has a long-standing history in the Piedmont region of Italy. The wine was awarded the DOC status in 1969. The winemaking tradition in Sizzano dates back to ancient times and has been passed down through generations. The wine is produced from Nebbiolo grapes, which are also known as Spanna in this region, mixed with a small percentage of Uva Rara and Vespolina.

Geographical Production Area

Sizzano DOC is produced in the hilly region of Piedmont, specifically in the province of Novara. The region is known for its unique microclimate, with significant temperature variations between day and night, which is ideal for the growth of Nebbiolo grapes. The soil is predominantly morainic, with a mixture of clay and sand that provides excellent drainage. This unique combination of climate and soil gives the wine its distinctive characteristics.
