THERE’S A PARTY IN TOWN
Spend a pleasant evening in Nizza Monferrato old town! The shops will be open and visitors can enjoy a range of local dishes and specialities as they stroll around town or sit comfortably in specially organised areas. Then there are the Wine Points – where over 100 different labels of Barbera d’Asti will be available for tasting, served by Sommeliers from the AIS and the streets will be filled with music and a party atmosphere. There’ll also be a chance to taste specialities prepared specially to celebrate our favourite red: have you ever tried Barbera ice-cream?
On Sunday the party continues, with the market and activities for children. Soon you’ll download the detailed programme of Nizza è Barbera 2024!
THE HOME OF BARBERA
At Palazzo Crova, the historical building surrounded by splendid gardens that is home of the Enoteca Regionale di Nizza, you can visit the Wine Shop and purchase the wines of our associate producers – as well as the Museo del Gusto, both of which will be open on the Saturday evening during Nizza è Barbera. You can also enjoy a delicious menu created to pair perfectly with Barbera d’Asti: lunch and dinner will both be served at the table, with the Barbera wines of our Producers available at the tasting tables, in the peaceful setting of the Ristorante Vineria la Signora in Rosso (lunch in the gardens and dinner in the indoor dining room).
