Cantina di Nizza `Le Pole` Barbera d'Asti DOCG from Asti, Italy, is a vibrant dry Red wine crafted entirely from Barbera grapes. Fermented for no longer than ten days and bottled early to preserve its freshness, this wine offers a delightful bouquet of fresh red fruits, violet, and subtle earthy notes. The palate is juicy and refreshing with lively acidity, showcasing flavours of red plum, cherry, and a hint of black pepper. It pairs wonderfully with pasta dishes, cured meats, and mature cheeses.

Vinification
`Le Pole` hails from vineyards surrounding Nizza at 200 - 300 metres above sea level, planted on a mixture of calcareous clays and marls. Handpicked in the second half of September, the grapes are transported to and crushed at the co-op. Fermentation lasts no longer than ten days, at a maximum temperature of 28ºC. Malolactic fermentation starts straight after alcoholic fermentation is completed. After a few months, the wine is ready for early bottling, preserving the vibrancy of Barbera at its best.
Flavour profile
This vibrant Barbera d'Asti offers a delightful bouquet of fresh red fruits, complemented by subtle floral and earthy undertones. On the palate, it delivers a juicy and refreshing experience with a lively acidity and a smooth finish.
Serving recommendation
Serve at 12-14°C; a short decant will enhance its vibrant fruit character.
