The 2022 Castello di Neive Barbera d’Alba DOC is a vibrant and elegant Piedmont Barbera, showcasing the freshness and charm that define classic Barbera d’Alba. Deep ruby in colour, it reveals aromas of crushed raspberry, blackberry and violet layered with hints of herbs, woodland berries and subtle cacao.
On the palate is medium-bodied and silky, with juicy dark fruit, bright acidity and soft tannins delivering balance, energy and approachability. The style is polished, food-friendly and beautifully expressive of the Neive terroir.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Italian red for customers who enjoy vibrant, fruit-driven wines with freshness and savoury complexity rather than heavy oak. Smooth, versatile and easy to enjoy, it pairs beautifully with pasta, pizza, roast meats or aged cheeses. Drink now or over the next 5–7 years.
