2020 Castello di Neive Barbaresco Albesani Santo Stefano

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.

Vinified in stainless steel tanks with constant control of the fermentation temperature and automatic pumping-over system. Fermentation occurs for 12-14 days. Aged for 12-18 months in French oak barrels.

Deep garnet in color, intoxicating aromas of purple fruits and wild flowers are underscored by notes of cherries, roses, and baking spices.  On the palate, it is elegant, with a long spicy finish.
