Produzione vino Barbaresco nelle Langhe
CASTELLO DI NEIVE ESTATE
The century-long history of Castello di Neive is strictly bound to the village of Neive and its wines, in particular to the production of Barbaresco.
The Castello and its cellars, the Santo Stefano vineyard and the other exceptional vineyards, along with a centuries-long and well-documented history require us to pay scrupulous attention to every choice we make, both in the vineyard and in the cellar so as to transmit all this to our clients.
The Stupino Family
People have always played a central role in the company.
From the beginning, when the foundations were laid as well as in the ensuing years in the generations that followed, our objective has always been the same: the success of the Castello di Neive.

Italo and his scientific approach
Thanks to his training as an engineer and his former career in industry,
Italo Stupino developed a scientific approach to both the vineyards and the countryside. While maintaining tradition was important to him, nothing could be taken for granted–it was always necessary to aim for better results. From the 1970's on, the collaboration with the University of Turin gave Italo an attitude in the world of wine that still today allows him to meet the challenges of a continually evolving market. Tradition, research and creativity; this is the philosophy of a company that, without neglecting the heritage of centuries of winemaking, embraces new technology, is active in research–both in the vineyard and in the cellar–and is ready to take risks and experiment.

Vincenzo Gerbi​

Of all the advantages derived from the clonal selection of Arneis, perhaps the most important is the friendship with young researchers who have become today’s luminaries in the field of wine and grape production. Among these are Professor Vincenzo Gerbi, Professor Anna Schneider, Professor Vittorino Novello and others.
