Prunotto Bansella Nizza 2022
From £29.95
Why Mark chose this
Nizza is Barbera's top appellation in Piedmont, where the grape can reach a level of concentration and complexity rarely seen elsewhere. Prunotto are one of the most reliable houses in the region and Bansella is a well-made example: dense and fruit-forward on the nose, but with that characteristic Barbera freshness and acidity on the palate that stops it feeling heavy. At 15% it's a serious wine but the balance is there.

Tasting Notes
Bansella is an intense ruby red color. The nose is generous and fruit forward with notes that echo dark pulp fruit, flowers, and a light hint of licorice. The palate is supple and is defined by an excellent balance between freshness and acidity, a typical characteristic of the Barbera grape variety. 100% Barbera
