Barbaresco DOCG Santo Stefano Albesani The Barbaresco Santo Stefano is the result of an ethereal combination of the ideal terroir with the perfectly suited Nebbiolo grape. This wine shows all the characteristic elegance of Barbaresco with the complexity and richness for which Santo Stefano is known. The Nebbiolo grapes for this wine are grown in the Albesani sub-appellation inside Barbaresco, in the single vineyard of Santo Stefano, which is owned entirely by Castello di Neive.

Barbaresco Riserva DOCG Santo Stefano Albesani The grapes that are destined for this ultra premium wine come from the highly respected Santo Stefano vineyard which is known to make some of Piemonte’s finest Nebbiolo wines. As with the other Castello di Neive Barbarescos, this wine is made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, but the grapes used to make this wine represent the finest selection of grapes, picked at optimum ripeness. These grapes are pressed and the resulting wine is allowed to age in wooden barrels for four years to soften the wine’s tannins and add a layer of spicy complexity to the wine’s opulent floral aromas.
