Located inside the splendid eighteenth-century castle, the winery has been owned by the Stupino family since 1964. Of the 60 hectares of land, all located in the municipality of Neive, 26 are used for growing grapes and 20 for hazelnuts. All wine production is obtained from estate grapes. Among the vineyards, Santo Stefano deserves a special mention, already mapped in the Cabreo del Castello di Neive in 1742, a “monopole” with exposure, slope, microclimate and soil that make it unique for both Barbaresco and Barbera d’Alba. Since 2012 Italo Stupino has activated a second technical cellar, also in Neive, in a structure ideal for optimizing the processes of pressing, fermentation and maintaining bottles at a controlled temperature. Finally, in 2016, “La Casetta” del Castello di Neive opened its doors in the rooms of the eighteenth-century house renovated inside the garden of the Castle.
