Nizza, Italy | That serious, but friendly uncle who always has a bit of a scowl on, but lets loose when you are kicking the old football around. Founded in 2017, the duo includes the experienced wine trade pro, Gino Della Porta, and well-known enologist, Gian Luca Colombo. Together they cultivate regional grapes in the Nizza Monferrato region of Piedmont, Italy. From 20-40 year old vines grown on chalky-rich soils in the heart of Nizza. FUN FACT! This barbera is made using an old Piedmontese winemaking technique where the grape skins are not submerged into the fermentation until the latter two-thirds (or sometimes more) to create a gentler extraction, this process can last for 30-50 days on average. Liquorice tea, pea blossoms, underripe red plums, cloves, chokeberry, cassia bark & szechuan peppercorns. Drink with dark-meat turkey sandwiches!

Barbera, Nizza, Italy | A glistening and bold, 100% Barbera, from Nizza, Monferrato, the heart of Italy’s finest Barbera country. Organically grown from 80 year old vines, winemakers Gino and Gian Luca endeavour to do justice to these revered, gnarly gods of wisdom & longevity. Gino explains, “We know we have to produce naked Barbera that explains our terroir, but we have to experiment to find our way”. Flabbergasted by our first tastes of this brand new import, this Barbera is holding hand-pies of inky black cherries in a rosemary graham cracker crust, spruce tip wisps, dusty cabin delirium, sturdy tree root tannins, dark chocolate square & dehydrated satsuma rind. Drink this abundant, merciful Barbera while posing for your first oil portrait or alongside a long bath & a rich beef tartare as the softest landing to the longest day.
