Castello di Neive 2012 Vigna Santo Stefano (Barbera d’Alba)

Country: Italy / Vigna Santo Stefano
Variety: Barbera Piedmont
Winery: Castello di Neive / Barbera d’Alba

From one of the best vineyard sites in the Barbaresco-making village of Neive, this offers aromas of raspberry, tilled soil, tobacco and chopped herbs. The chewy, delicious palate doles out juicy black cherry, crushed blackberry and baking spice alongside enveloping, velvety tannins and fresh acidity. It’s a superb Barbera.
