In the glass, it displays an intense ruby red colour which, over time, develops elegant garnet highlights. Its aromatic profile ranges from notes of red fruit to bitter cocoa and roasted coffee, then evolves towards intriguing spicy nuances and wild notes. On the palate, it is dry and full-bodied, supported by a \u003cstrong\u003edense texture\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003edeep tannic vein\u003c\/strong\u003e. This solid and balanced structure makes it ideal for pairing with rich dishes such as red meats, pork-based dishes, game and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis red originates from the Vinchio d’Asti area, in the heart of the prestigious Nizza zone. The vineyards are cultivated using the Guyot system at around 250 metres above sea level, benefiting from excellent southern exposure. The terroir is characterised by a \u003cstrong\u003esandy-limestone soil\u003c\/strong\u003e with a strong clay component, situated on steep slopes that require careful agricultural management. The \u003cstrong\u003eold vines\u003c\/strong\u003e, grown according to organic farming principles, produce bunches of extraordinary concentration. The harvest is carried out by hand, carefully selecting the best fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVinification involves a fermentation and maceration phase of about fifteen days in steel containers, processes that are fundamental for extracting colour and substance. This is followed by malolactic fermentation, essential for harmonising the flavour profile. The wine then rests for a period of sixteen to eighteen months through \u003cstrong\u003ematuration in oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, divided between large barrels and smaller wooden casks. This skilful use of wood enhances the olfactory complexity and smooths the tannins. In spring, the final \u003cstrong\u003eblend\u003c\/strong\u003e is created, concluding the process with bottling in the summer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Nizza DOCG embodies the passion of the Oddero family, whose winemaking roots date back to the 18th century. Produced on the steep sandy soils of Vinchio d’Asti, it is made from \u003cstrong\u003eold Barbera vines\u003c\/strong\u003e over thirty years old, whose grapes are harvested strictly by hand. The expert craftsmanship culminates in a meticulous \u003cstrong\u003ematuration in oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for 16-18 months, which gives the wine a dense and enveloping texture. The combination of family history and artisanal care enhances the authentic \u003cstrong\u003ePiedmontese winemaking tradition\u003c\/strong\u003e, offering a structured red wine with great character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Oddero","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45805924188331,"sku":"58956","price":21.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/oddero-nizza-2023_58956_1_379f0dee-0b7c-41a5-884f-b161102d4049.webp?v=1773788389","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-ch\/products\/oddero-nizza-2023","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
