Cipressi 2019 Nizza DOCG: elegance and character from Barbera

Cipressi 2019 Nizza DOCG Michele Chiarlo is a Piedmontese red wine with great personality, an authentic expression of Barbera grown in Castelnuovo Calcea. The winery produces a wine that combines structure, freshness, and aromatic finesse, with a style designed to best enhance the identity of the territory and offer a satisfying, versatile, and gastronomic drinking experience.

Territory and wine style

This Nizza DOCG is born from vineyards located in Castelnuovo Calcea, in a vocated area of Monferrato where Barbera finds a particularly interesting balance between fruit maturity and taste tension. The soils, characterized by Asti sands and Sant'Agata marls with clay-limestone components, contribute to defining a rich, savory, and complex profile. The altitude of the vineyards, between 230 and 280 meters above sea level, favors a good temperature range, useful for preserving fragrance and aromatic precision. The result is a modern Italian red wine in style, but deeply connected to the tradition of the territory.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a brilliant ruby red. The bouquet is clear and elegant, with notes of violet, blackberries, and raspberries, accompanied by delicate sweet and spicy nuances. On the palate, it shows breadth and structure, but also a pleasant softness that makes it harmonious and smooth. The tannic texture is present but well integrated, supported by a lively freshness that extends the sip and a savory, round, and persistent finish. Cipressi 2019 Nizza DOCG Michele Chiarlo thus combines intensity and measure, with a balanced and refined profile.

Recommended pairings

Versatility is one of its strengths.

Serving temperature
