Castello di Neive Barbaresco 2012, Piedmont, Italy: A vibrant, robust northern Italian red wine that still needs cellar time to smooth out the tannins. Lots of racy acidity on the palate for tomato sauce dishes and grilled meats. Decant 1-2 hours. Good value. Drink: 2016-2019. 160143 14.50% XD 750 mL  $19.80 Score: 89/100.
