Description
Join sommelier and educator Erik Segelbaum for an immersive tasting focused on one of Piedmont’s rising stars: Nizza DOCG. Once a subzone of Barbera d’Asti, Nizza has emerged as a standalone DOCG, known for producing complex, age-worthy expressions of Barbera that reflect the unique terroir of this prestigious enclave. Through a curated tasting, attendees will explore the region’s strict production standards, stylistic signatures, and why Nizza is commanding attention from collectors and wine professionals alike. A must-attend for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Piedmont beyond the Nebbiolo spotlight.
