better than a Barbera

In my opinion, a wine with a significant quality-price ratio, or rather, in my humble opinion, as a passionate lover of Barbera, Nizza represents its ultimate expression. Bottles like these are worth keeping in the cellar for another 4 years and opening them for a special occasion. The challenge is managing to keep them that long.
