Why shop with us?
Costa Olmo Nizza 2023 is a refined expression of one of Piedmont’s most distinctive wine styles, offering the depth and character that have made Nizza a benchmark for premium Barbera. With its combination of ripe fruit, freshness, and structure, it reflects both the precision of modern winemaking and the long tradition of Barbera in northern Italy. The 2023 vintage promises an elegant, food-friendly red with real regional identity.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine is likely to show a deep ruby color with youthful violet tones. The nose typically opens with bright red and black fruit, such as cherry, plum, and blackberry, supported by floral hints, spice, and a subtle earthy edge.
On the palate, Nizza is known for combining generous fruit with vibrant acidity and a polished texture, giving the wine both energy and depth. Expect a medium-to-full-bodied red with supple tannins and a long, balanced finish. While enjoyable young for its freshness and fruit, it should also have the structure to develop additional complexity over the next few years.
Production
Nizza is one of the most esteemed subzones in the Barbera-d’Asti area of Piedmont, where vineyards benefit from a favorable mix of hillside exposures, well-drained soils, and a climate that helps preserve freshness while achieving ripeness. The wine is typically made from carefully selected grapes harvested at optimal maturity, with vinification aimed at emphasizing fruit purity, color extraction, and balance. If oak is used, it is generally intended to support structure and complexity without overpowering the varietal character.
Food & Serving
Costa Olmo Nizza 2023 is a natural match for rich Italian dishes such as braised beef, pasta with meat ragù, roasted game, and mushroom-based recipes. It also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses and grilled meats. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decanting for 30–60 minutes is recommended if you want to soften the wine and bring out more aromatic detail.
