In production since the 1984 vintage, this historic wine is now part of the newly minted Nizza appellation. A pure expression of Barbera, the 2016 Nizza Pomorosso shows a savory side of spice, tobacco and tar that is balanced out by plummy dark fruit. This wine is deep, sophisticated and powerful, making it a good pairing partner to braised or boiled beef with an English mint sauce. There is a subtle note of sweetness that adds succulence and softness to the finish.

Opulent, featuring plum, blackberry, chocolate, leather and tobacco notes. Solidly built, with a hint of oak spice on the long, languid finish. Drink now through 2025. 2,250 cases made, 250 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Nizza Select to Add
