Nizza is Barbera at Nizza Monferrato

Nice and its fine Barbera wine, of which it is the undisputed capital, is part of the 50th UNESCO site of the Langhe-Roero and Monferrato Wine Landscapes. From the famous variety of grape, grown for over 500 years in the Piedmont area, on July 1, 2016, the denomination Barbera d’Asti Superiore “Nizza” was born.
Nice is also the land of the hunchback thistle and the white truffle.
Furthermore, it cannot be forgotten that Nice is the home of the prized Piedmontese breed meat.
Typical dishes are the green cake, “La belacauda” (in Nicese dialect it means chickpea farinata) and the bagna cauda.
The city, in the oldest part, is triangular in shape with districts all in a straight line and boasts a large presence of historic buildings of considerable value. You cannot miss a visit to the symbol of the town, the Campanone, a civic tower incorporated into the town hall, Palazzo Crova di Vaglio built in the 18th century which houses the multimedia museum Palazzo del Gusto, dedicated to the history of local food and wine, and Palazzo De Benedetti, also built in the eighteenth century.
Also interesting are the museum proposals with the Bersano Museum of Farmers and Ancient Wine Prints, set up by the Bersano winery, which houses a precious collection of agricultural tools and a collection of wine labels.
