The 1989 Barbaresco-Santo Stefano is clearly the best example of this wine made by the Castello di Neive since 1982. The big, leathery, meaty, herb and tobacco-scented bouquet is followed by a rich, concentrated, medium to full-bodied wine. It has already shed some of its tannin, and can be drunk now or over the next 12-15 years. Importer: William Grant and Son, New York, NY.

Crisply focused and elegant, a refined wine with generous licorice-scented berry and tar aromas and flavors, firm and peppery on the finish.Tannins are well integrated. Drinkable now. 4,000 cases made.??–null??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbaresco Select to Add
