Santo Stefano is one of the finest vineyards in Barbaresco and the wines show incredible ageing potential.

The 2012 'Santo Stefano' Reserva by Castello di Neive has bright, intense ruby with a garnet rim. Inviting, clear nose with notes of ripe wild raspberries, preserved cherries, underpinned by notes of fine cinnamon. Taut, gripping tannins, firm and substantial, with an interwoven sweet texture carrying though to a long finish. A wine that will develop beautifully over the years.

Terroir

Most of the hard work it takes to produce quality wine happens in the vinyard. The soil, the climatic conditions, the aspect, the bodies of water and many more factors, collectively knwon as "terroir" can influence the flavour of wine and give wine distint minerality, depth and character.
