Castello Di Neive Barbaresco

The grapes for this wine come from some of the most-respected vineyards in the Barbaresco DOCG. It is made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes grown on vines that average 30 years of age. 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.
