Castello di Neive Description
Medium garnet in color, aromas of red fruits and cassis are complemented by delicate hints of licorice, smoke, and caramel. The tannins in this wine are central to the mouth feel, yet they are neither astringent nor tight...in other words, a perfect example of the Neive style.
Pairs well with meat-based raviolis, mushroom-topped pork saltimbocca, and elegant filet mignon dishes.
Wine Spectator: 94 Points
Though muscular, this shows a layer of inviting cherry and raspberry flavors, shaded by hints of licorice, tar, mineral and menthol. Offers fine energy and is well-balanced overall, with a long, complex aftertaste. Best from 2027 through 2043. 5,000 cases made, 2,000 cases imported.
Vinous Media: 92 Points
The 2020 Barbaresco is a very pretty, classy wine. Crushed flowers, bright red-toned fruit, tobacco, cedar and mint are some of the notes that waft from the glass in this attractive, mid-weight Barbaresco. I would give this a bit of air to help the bouquet come together. It's a lovely wine from Castello di Neive, and absolutely stellar in its peer group.
