"Camphor, gravel dust, blackberry and violet flavors define this beefy red. Tannic at the moment, with ample ripe fruit that returns on the persistent finish. Shows fine intensity and length but needs time. Best from 2031 through 2045." —Wine Spectator

"The 2022 Barbaresco Bricco di Neive Vie Erte is impeccable. I especially admire its mid-palate richness, something that is not always found here. Red fruit, blood orange, star anise and floral overtones lend striking beauty along with a palpable feeling of exoticism. Best of all, the 2022 can be enjoyed with minimal cellaring if given some air. This is a very classy wine." —Antonio Galloni, Vinous

"From 25-year-old vines on sandy hillside soils just outside the winery, the 2022 Barbaresco Bricco Di Neive Vie Erte was fermented in stainless steel and aged 24 months in 2,000- to 2,500-liter Slavonian oak casks. It opens with sweet herbs, raspberries, and orange peel, highlighting the site’s natural finesse. Medium-bodied, it’s light on its feet, with refined tannins and balanced acidity, making it especially approachable and charming in this warm vintage. 8,000 bottles were produced. Drink 2026-2036." —Jeb Dunnuck
