Castello di Neive, Barbaresco Riserva Santo Stefano DBMG, 2007

Castello di Neive’s Barbaresco Riserva Santo Stefano DBMG 2007 is a poised expression of Nebbiolo from one of Piedmont’s most celebrated terroirs. Elegant yet firmly structured, it captures the classic Barbaresco style with lifted aromatics, fine tannins, and a sense of old-world refinement that has made this appellation a benchmark for collectors.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a beautiful garnet-red colour that hints at its maturity. The nose is expressive and layered, with red rose petals, dried cherries, licorice, violet, pipe tobacco, and a delicate note of white truffle. The palate is refined and vibrant, with dark cherry, rose garden, leather, and licorice framed by fresh acidity and Nebbiolo’s signature, linear tannins. There is a savoury depth of undergrowth and sweet spice that gives the wine extra dimension. While already showing well, it still has the structure to develop further over time.

Production
Barbaresco comes from Piemonte in northern Italy, where the communes of Barbaresco, Neive, Treiso, and San Rocco Seno d’Elvio form the heart of production. Made from 100% Nebbiolo, the wine reflects the region’s cooler, more elegant expression of the grape, with hand-harvested fruit carefully sorted on arrival at the cellar. Viticulture is carried out with strong respect for nature, without chemical spraying in the vineyards, and the wine is aged for a minimum of two years before release.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for refined red meat dishes, especially those served with mushrooms or fresh truffle. It also pairs beautifully with roast game, braised veal, or rich mushroom-based pasta dishes. Serve at 16–18°C and consider decanting for 1–2 hours to help the aromas fully open.
