WHAT: Castello Di Neive Barbaresco 2006 (red) Rating: NNNN
WHERE: Piedmont, Italy
WHY: Folks wise to the ways of the LCBO know that this wine has recently departed the cozy environs of Vintages for the steel shelves of the regular LCBO selection, aka the general list. Whether this increases distribution remains to be seen, but it hasn’t hurt the price, which dropped by $4. Light texture, slow-building fruit, nice tannic grip, aging potential: a new Piedmont cat among the general-list pigeons.
PRICE: 750 ml/$19.95
AVAILABILITY: At selected liquor stores (product #160143)
