NIZZA DOCG EXPERIENCE

A storytelling walk through the Nizza docg vineyards and lunch including wine tasting

  • 4 Nizza crus
  • dinner
  • 45 km
  • on foot + van
  • 4 h
  • 75 €

The Nizza DOCG and its secrets, to learn about one of the oenological excellences of which we are most proud.

Nizza is produced exclusively in the municipality of Nizza Monferrato and in other 17 neighbouring villages, and has been a DOCG in its own right since 2016. A true gem in the crown of red wine production in the wineries of Monferrato Astigiano.

The Storymovers® will take you on a walk through the hills where this wine is produced and tell you about the rural wisdom in its roots. You will hear of whales, fossils, glaciations – of events in local history and you will immerse yourself in the vineyards where the Barbera grapes for Nizza docg are grown, amid different soils and microclimates.

At the end of the experience, you can enjoy a dinner/lunch paired with 4 Nizza docg wines from different crus , at the Osteria – Vineria La Signora in Rosso, right where the tour began.

Travel between the different stages will be by minivan, allowing you then to enjoy short walks in na-ture.
