In my time discovering Nizza and Barbera and what makes the whole thing tick, I learned so much from my time with Emanuele at Prunotto. He brought things into focus; he relayed a ton of information, and he brought me in touch with some of the great minds behind where Nizza Monferrato is going (over lunch) - he also showed me this wine ... Today, it's the Prunotto 2022 Bansella Nizza
If you do not know what Nizza is, you have not been paying attention. Last month I posted 5 reports from the area, and I have done a few videos about these wines. Going forward, you will be seeing more from me about Nizza Monferrato; for now, all I can say is that if you are a fan of Barbera from Piedmont, listen up - this is going to be your "jam" ...

(****+)
