d'Alba.

Wine Tasting

Neive crowns a hilltop in the Langhe, its medieval center of narrow streets and stone buildings surrounded by Barbaresco vineyards. The village earned recognition as one of Italy's most beautiful, preserving historic architecture while supporting a thriving wine culture. Numerous wine bars and shops offer tastings of Barbaresco, Barbera, and Dolcetto from surrounding estates. Restaurants serve traditional Piedmontese cuisine using local ingredients, particularly hazelnuts and truffles. The combination of well-preserved historic character, quality wine production, excellent restaurants, and dramatic hilltop views makes this a sophisticated base for exploring Barbaresco wine country.
