But about a decade ago, the Stupino family—owners of Santo Stefano and the Castello di Neive winery—reclaimed the grapes for themselves. Since then, they’ve been on one of the hottest streaks in Italy. In the spectacular 2016 vintage, they produced one of the top-rated Cellar Selection Riservas of the last decade, from Santo Stefano. Wine Enthusiast critic Kerin O’Keefe—the Italian-wine expert who literally wrote the defining book on Barolo and Barbaresco—awarded it 96 points and Cellar Selection honors. Only 600 cases were made, only 100 were imported.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMedium garnet with fading edges. A mix of savory herbs, wildflowers, and bright red cherries on the nose. The palate is open-knit and gives loads of spiced cranberry, plum, worn leather, preserved orange peel, and dark cocoa. The texture is smooth and full, with graceful tannins that are just starting to soften. A remarkable finish with lingering black truffle, espresso, and violet notes.
