Prunotto Bansella Nizza Barbera 2020

Prunotto Bansella Nizza Barbera 2020 is a powerful and characterful red wine from Piedmont in northern Italy. The wine is made from the classic Barbera grape and shows why Nizza DOCG is considered one of the best areas for this particular grape variety. Here you get a wine with intense fruit, great structure and an elegant balance between freshness and depth.

The grapes for Bansella Nizza are grown in vineyards with soils consisting of sand, limestone, clay and marl. This composition provides perfect conditions for the Barbera grape. The combination of soil and the cool climate of Piedmont creates grapes with great aromatic intensity and great acidity. The result is a wine with power, complexity and finesse.

The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand to ensure the highest quality. After harvesting, they are quickly transported to the winery where they are carefully sorted. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in small tanks, which emphasizes the purity of the fruit. After fermentation, the wine is aged for several months on the fine lees. This process adds richness, structure and complexity to the finished wine.

Prunotto Bansella Nizza Barbera 2020 is a wine with both depth and elegance. It pairs well with Italian cuisine, grilled meats, pasta dishes with rich sauces and mature cheeses. At the same time, it’s a pleasure to enjoy on its own in the glass.
