The wine
The most beautiful Barbaresco 2016 we have had in a glass in a long time! Matured for 24 months in large wooden barrels and from the famous cru Curra in Neive. Bright rust brown color. Slightly spicy aroma of ripened plums, cherries and sandalwood. Full and complex in the mouth, beautiful long aftertaste.

CANTINA DEL GLICINE
Family business located in the heart of Neive, above the oldest (1582) wine cellar still in use in Piedmont. It is the charismatic Claudio, cousin of the founders, who will give you the warmest welcome in the cantina where time has stood still. After the death of his uncle, Claudio came to his aunt's aid and together they laid the foundation for the future of this beautiful winery. There has been professionalization in recent years without throwing overboard what was already good. They make a great quality line of wines, work semi-traditionally and use both small and large wooden barrels. In recent years, the focus has mainly been on quality and you can taste that in all their wines.
