My Name Is… Nizza… (Drinking Monferrato’s Top Reds With MyNameIsBarbera.com)1 min read

Posted on March 16, 2018March 9, 2018 by 1WineDude

in 1WineDude TV, Italian Wine, on the road

You might have read about the venerable Tenuta Olim Bauda (and its head honcho, Gianni Bertolino) here before, as I’ve previously covered my gig promoting Italy’s incredible Monferrato region over at at MyNameIsBarbera.com. Back in December, the MNiB team had produced video of me getting the low-down from Bertolino on Nizza, the relatively new tippy-top of the Barbera DOCG quality pyramid.

Well, we’ve got some more vid from that session, this time covering the first part of my Nizza tasting with Bertolino, during which I get introduced to more recent vintages of the (quite excellent) stuff. You can jealously watch me gulping down some tasty Nizza reds int he embedded video below. Next up in the series will probably be the second half of that tasting, in which I get to drink older Nizza vintages to see if they live up to their age-ability hype.

Tough job, right?

Cheers!

    Tough job indeed. I’d like to taste more of Nizza, but you don’t find them so often.

      Right? Thanks for appreciating my sacrifices! :)

      As for the availability of Nizza, there just isn’t a ton of it made. Definitely a splurge item, but well worth it.
