A great Barbera d'Asti Nizza Superiore. If the Barbera d’Asti Nizza Superiore "Vignali" is aged in barrique, the Nizza Superiore Titon is aged in big barrels and the different ageing method produces a complete different wine, a wine with a rich and complex nose with red fruit hints, full, soft, velvety, with smooth tannins and a lively acidity.
Nizza is a DOCG appellation within the wider Barbera d'Asti appellation where the grape produces the best examples.
The Barbera d'Asti Nizza Superiore "Titon" is the perfect accompaniment to roasts and mature cheeses or just to be enjoyed sip by sip. This wine needs decanting.
Barbera d‘Asti wines have several shades and when properly made can be great wines, as good as all other Piedmont reds, read about the

The L’Armangia winery have been making wines in Canelli, Piedmont, from 1850, and today they are amongst the top wineries of the area particularly with regard to growing and producing Barbera d’Asti and Moscato D’Asti. Ignazio, the owner and winemaker, is not your conventional winemaker, he knows his grapes as if they are his own sons and daughters and he knows what they can produce and he firmly believes in the Barbera d’Asti grape, but also grow a variety of other grapes including Albarossa, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and a very small vineyard of Pinot Nero that makes an amazing wine.
