With the 2014 vintage, the NIZZA appellation is born, elevating the Barbera subzone to its own appellation. The possibility of adding the “riserva” type and the mention “vineyard” is also introduced. As the area of Nizza is historically among the most vocated for Barbera, in the 1990s, producers in the area applied for the recognition of the “subzone” the only way to get to the achievement of the “Nizza DOCG” designation. The use of the geographical name “Nizza” instead of the grape variety concentrates tradition, culture and a unique territory in a short name. The production area of Nizza is limited by a specification with very strict constraints on cultivation and oenology. Noceto is named after one of the appellation’s mapped cru, whose full name is Noceto sopra il Monte.

TERRITORY
Nizza DOCG is produced in the Monferrato region, specifically in an area that encompasses as many as 18 municipalities, in territories that-although close to each other-have different characteristics depending on exposure-alternating between more clayey and red soils and others that are more marly and sandy, with the presence of fossils.
