La Barbatella has worked these hills above Nizza Monferrato since 1982, with a focus on Barbera and Monferrato reds. The names to know are the Nizza DOCG 'La Vigna dell'Angelo' and its Riserva, the 'La Barbatella' Barbera d'Asti, the 'Sonvico' and 'Ruanera' Monferrato reds, a metodo classico sparkling, and the 'Noè' and 'Non è' whites.
The doors stay open to tasters, and you can book a tasting online rather than hoping for luck at the gate.
