Castello di Neive is a historic winery in the heart of the Langhe region, recognized for its dedication to producing high-quality wines that reflect the unique terroir. Established in the 14th century, this vineyard has become synonymous with the excellence of Piedmont wines, particularly with Dolcetto d'Alba, which showcases the vibrant and approachable character of the indigenous Dolcetto grape.

The 2021 vintage of Dolcetto d'Alba offers a fresh and fruit-forward profile, typical of the varietal, marked by lively notes of black cherry and plum, accompanied by subtle hints of almond and a touch of earthiness. The balance between acidity and soft tannins makes this wine exceptionally drinkable, ideal for early consumption yet structured enough to age gracefully.

This vintage stands out for its clarity and expression of fruit, indicative of a growing season that allowed the grapes to ripen fully while retaining their natural brightness. In terms of investability, while Dolcetto is often overshadowed by its more renowned counterparts like Barolo and Barbaresco, Castello di Neive's consistently high quality offers potential for collectors looking to diversify their portfolios with well-regarded, underappreciated wines from Piedmont.
