94 pts., Editors' Choice, Wine Enthusiast:

"Red roses and wild cherries greet you with Barbaresco's signature finesse, lifted by crushed tart raspberries, subtle fresh herbs and savory spice. The palate unfolds with graceful precision, weaving together these complex threads of red fruits, herbs and spice, all carried by silken tannins. An elegant expression that delivers remarkable depth while maintaining its poise. Drink Now - 2050."

FROM THE WINERY

Grapes from diverse vineyards complement each other, and result in great harmony and allure. A wine that is greatly representative of the entire Barbaresco zone, Neive in particular.

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.
