## Summary

The Neive Barbaresco from the Borgese vineyard in the Albesani MGA: elegant and intense, lighter in style, with well-defined tannins. Offered as a good way into Barbaresco.

## Tasting notes

Garnet red, harmonious and balanced on the nose. Full and elegant on the palate with a noble tannic weave. Intense, but not too demanding.
