Castello di Neive 2007 Santo Stefano Nebbiolo (Barbaresco)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $58
You’ll absolutely love this wine. Barbaresco Santo Stefano offers intensity, harmony and imparts delicious aromas of sweet spice, wild berries, licorice, tar and light touches of smoke or graphite. It boasts a smooth, rich texture with bright acidity on the close. This is a very pure and pristine expression of Nebbiolo that will live long in the cellar.

Bright and tonic, this cheerful Barbaresco delivers pretty aromas of perfumed spice, wild flowers, licorice and light shadings of talc powder. In the mouth, it offers an especially smooth and silky feel. Pair this elegant wine with lamb chops topped with crispy fried shallots.

Castello di Neive 2000 Mattarello Barbera (Barbera d'Alba)

Great Barbera, perfectly matured and bargain priced. Intense blackberry fruit sports accents of vanilla on the nose, but the flavors show hardly any trace of oak, instead emphasizing cherry and plum. Lushly textured, with a long, tangy finish. Imported by VinUS Inc.

Castello di Neive 2008 Gallina Nebbiolo (Barbaresco)
- Online Exclusive
This Barbaresco with fruit sourced from the Gallina cru shows sweet vanilla and spice spread over tight fruit aromas of cassis and plum. The aromas are steady, well paced and do not present themselves in an overdone or exaggerated way. In fact, linear elegance and restraint are what set this wine apart.

Castello di Neive 1998 Messoirano Dolcetto (Dolcetto d'Alba)
- Best Buy
- $12
Very purple in color. Deep grapey aromas make it extremely floral. Dried herbs, spices, and tart berry and cocoa flavors. Good and round, but a firm feel on the palate. Good grip leaves tannins to lose. One of the few Dolcettos capable of short-term aging. Best Buy.

Castello di Neive 2008 Santo Stefano Nebbiolo (Barbaresco)
- Online Exclusive
- $58
In a departure from the fuller, riper style exhibited last vintage, this edition of Barbaresco Santo Stefano shows thorny, brambly elements of white cherry and forest floor. In the mouth, it shows tight astringency and not too much heft or supporting density. Drink after 2015.
