The area contributes to giving structure, freshness, and aromatic depth to the Barbera, while the production philosophy focused on integrated pest management and very low yields supports a concentrated and rigorous quality. The vinification and aging in wood, followed by a long resting period in the bottle, create an authoritative, rich, and refined style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it presents a purplish color with brilliant ruby reflections. The aromatic profile is intense, elegant, and complex, with hints of small black fruits, sour cherry, rhubarb, and chocolate, enriched by spicy nuances and a very well-defined sense of maturity. On the palate, it shows a decisive yet balanced impact, with a silky texture, vibrant freshness, and well-integrated tannins. The structure is broad, velvety, and sustained by an extremely long persistence, leaving a sensation of great continuity and taste coherence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNizza Riserva 2016 La Court Vigna Veja DOCG\u003c\/strong\u003e pairs well with flavorful and structured dishes from the Piedmontese tradition and beyond.
