Castello di Neive, Piedmont
A very limited quantity of this delicious Barbera is produced from the 1.5 hectare Matarello vineyard. Here, ageing the wine in barriques softens Barbera’s high acidity and adds struture to compensate for its soft tannins. A limpid purple colour with nose and palate showing ripe plum and black cherry fruit, sweet spice and cocoa.
The Castello di Neive estate
Situated in one of Italy's most picturesque hilltop villages, the castle has played an important part in the development of the region's most famous varietal - Nebbiolo, since 1857 when, in its cellars, famed French oenologist, Louis Oudart began to transform the sweet, unstructured wines of the time into the distinctive, dry style often viewed today as the Burgundy of Italy. Castello di Neive's Barbarescos are unbendingly traditional, rich but refined, austere and aristocratic. They also produce a delicious vintage Metodo Classico and Arneis Passito to top and tail dinner.
