Castello di Neive Barbaresco 2016 (750ML)

96 WE / 92 WS

#3 Wine Enthusiast's Top 100 Cellar Selections of 2019

“Rose, violet, just-tilled vineyard soil and perfumed berry are just some of the aromas you’ll find on this dazzling, fragrant red. The elegant, delicious palate is chock-full of elegance and flavor, delivering juicy Morello cherry, raspberry compote, cake spice and a balsamic note. It boasts fantastic tension and finesse, and will be even better with more bottle age. Gorgeous.” Wine Enthusiast

A distinctive minty note signals this tightly structured red. The core of bright cherry and currant is complemented by licorice, tar and leafy underbrush flavors. Shows plenty of density and power. Best from 2022 through 2040. 5,000 cases made, 1,800 cases imported. — BS - Wine Spectator
