Wine Tasting
Neive

Neive perches on a hilltop above the Barbaresco vineyards, its medieval towers and cobblestone streets overlooking some of Piedmont's most celebrated wine country. The village produces prestigious Barbaresco wines from surrounding slopes, with historic cellars beneath ancient buildings and family-run estates offering tastings. Stone archways lead through the compact historic center where wine bars, restaurants, and artisan shops line narrow lanes. The village maintains authentic character while welcoming wine enthusiasts to explore its quality producers and traditional trattorias. Autumn brings the grape harvest and white truffle season, filling restaurants with seasonal specialties. The combination of medieval atmosphere, exceptional wines, and genuine Piedmontese hospitality creates an intimate wine village experience.
