Exquisitely fresh, light, delicate and effervescent small-grower Prosecco

finely-grained, with intense dark berry fruit, liquorice and hints of earthy spices

Castello di Neive's 'Gallina' vineyard is a superior south-facing site, which produces much of the estate's best quality fruit each year. 

...intense cigar-box, liquorice, blackberries, plums and toasty spices...

A tiny, 4.5 hectare, family-owned Barolo estate, Stroppiana is run by Dario Stroppiana, who takes care of every process, from tending the vines, to overseeing the harvest and making the wine himself.

"delivers intensity, density and freshness in equal measure throughout its balanced presentation.

"The perfumed bouquet offers dark fruit and dried cherry with subtle touches of cinnamon and dark cola in a background role."

"The spectacular 2012 Barbaresco Valeirano Vürsù is bursting with vibrant fruit and a lingering sense of elegance.

"The wine opens to a medium garnet color and focused precision. The aromas are not as intense as in other vintages, but this Barbaresco certainly leaves its aromatic mark nonetheless."

"Muscular and fully loaded, the 2012 Barbaresco Starderi Vürsù delivers a solid and ample bouquet that is built upon generous fruit, spice, licorice and balsam herb.

"The wine's brawny personality is different from the Barbaresco Valeirano that is more seductive and feminine in personality. Starderi shows more brawn and feistiness."

Jancis Robinson on the 2013 Barolo vintage
" The prognosis is for a vintage similar to the already legendary 2010s".

Simply Fantastic.
