Vinicola Arno hails from Nizza Monferrato, the heart of Barbera country in Piedmont. A region with more than two centuries of winemaking, where the Barbera grape was granted its own top appellation in 2014: Nizza DOCG. Since 2018 the estate has grown quickly, without letting go of its roots in tradition and craftsmanship.
The mission is clear: wines that reflect the essence of their land, pure and authentic. Barbera plays the undisputed lead role with 95 percent of the plantings, complemented by a little Nascetta and Sauvignon Blanc. From the very start the estate has worked without pesticides, herbicides or chemical additives, and since 2022 it has been fully certified organic. The result: more than sixty national and international awards.
In this masterclass you taste Barbera in all its layers, from the juicy 'Desolina' Barbera d'Asti and the Superiore 'Maria Augusta' to the 'Lorella' Nizza DOCG and the 'Leone' Nizza Riserva. The winemaker also pours the white 'Bilotto' Monferrato Bianco and, with a bit of luck, the 'Greta' Alta Langa metodo classico: traditional-method bubbles from Piedmont. You hear from the maker in person why Nizza shows Barbera at its best. Curious already? Browse the wines of Vinicola Arno.
