Castello di Neive Barbaresco 2019
$40
Showing enticing aromas of black cherry, black currant, licorice, mint and tar, this red is nicely balanced and lively. Delivers dense, dusty tannins and ripe fruit that linger on the finish.

Grape
Nebbiolo
Nebbiolo originated in Piedmont in Italy, where it remains the region's most important red grape. Its name comes from the Italian word nebbia, which means fog, a feature of the hills where the grape traditionally grows. Nebbiolo is thick-skinned, early-budding and late-ripening; it needs long periods of sunshine to ripen fully and is often planted on south- or southwest-facing hillsides for maximum exposure. The best examples come from calcareous marl vineyards, with some planted in sandy soils.
