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
