Costa Olmo Nizza is a still red wine from Piedmont that enhances the Barbera grape. In the glass, it displays an intense ruby hue, enriched with purple highlights. The bouquet is characterised by notes of black cherry, ripe plum, sweet spices, vanilla and hints of undergrowth. On the palate, it is rich and enveloping, supported by a vibrant acidity and fine tannins that lead to a long, warm finish.

Where it comes from
This red originates in Piedmont, in the Asti municipality of Vinchio, home to the Costa Olmo winery. The prestigious Nizza designation identifies a highly renowned winegrowing area, historically linked to the cultivation of the Barbera variety. The connection with the territory ensures high quality standards. The soil and climate characteristics of this hilly context shape the wine’s character, giving it pronounced aromatic intensity and a solid, expressive structure.
How it is produced
Costa Olmo Nizza is the result of careful processing of Barbera grapes. To enhance its bouquet and harmonise its texture, a one-hour decanting is recommended. Served at 14–16 °C, the wine reveals an ideal balance between freshness and smooth tannins. Its structured nature makes it a perfect gastronomic pairing for robust dishes, enhancing roasts, braised meats and game. It is equally suitable for accompanying hearty first courses, flavourful pork-based recipes and well-aged cheeses.
