Castello di Neive brings their estate finesse to Barbera d'Alba with this single-vineyard Santo Stefano bottling. While the Neive family built their reputation on Barbaresco, their touch with Barbera shows equal understanding of Piemonte's most food-friendly grape. The 2023 captures everything we love about modern Barbera: bright cherry fruit with violet florals, that signature mouth-watering acidity, and gentle tannins that make it irresistible at the table. Ready now and drinking beautifully until 2032, this is Barbera that knows its place in the Piemonte hierarchy.
