Castello di Neive Barbaresco 2020 is a masterful expression of Nebbiolo, bringing together the diverse characters of the estate’s finest vineyards—including parcels from Gallina and Santo Stefano. In the glass, it gleams with a bright garnet hue, heralding the elegance within. The nose is refined and layered, revealing a bouquet of ripe red berries, dried rose petals, and subtle whispers of oak, sweet spices, and forest floor. On the palate, it exudes poise and depth: silky yet structured tannins meet a lively acidity, creating a harmonious balance that carries flavors of sour cherry, licorice, and dried herbs to a persistent finish.
This Barbaresco is an authentic ambassador of its terroir—classic, composed, and age-worthy. It pairs beautifully with braised meats, game, mushroom risotto, and aged cheeses. Drink now to enjoy its freshness, or cellar for 15–20 years to explore its full potential.
