More questions
Grignolino d'Asti DOC - Castello Di Neive embodies the authentic essence of the Asti winemaking tradition, a pure expression of the native grape variety Grignolino. Cultivated in the gentle hills of Piedmont, this wine is characterized by a light, transparent ruby red color, which anticipates the freshness and liveliness typical of the territory. On the nose, aromas of small red fruits, such as strawberries and raspberries, emerge, accompanied by delicate floral notes and a slight spiciness. The palate is fresh, with gentle tannins and good acidity, giving Grignolino a lively and smooth drinkability, perfect to accompany local dishes such as cold cuts, white meats, and flavorful appetizers. Aging in steel preserves its brilliance and varietal fragrance, offering a harmonious balance between structure and lightness. A wine that captures the charm of the lesser-known but deeply evocative Piedmont.

The story
The estate is housed in an 18th-century noble palace. The Stupino family began modern operations in the 1960s and has owned the Castello since 1964; over time it has reorganized historic vineyards and renovated the cellars. Among the most frequently mentioned company developments are the enhancement of the Santo Stefano vineyard and the opening, in 2016, of “La Casetta del Castello” as a space for tours and tastings.
Production philosophy
It combines traditional roots with a modern approach: emphasis on the terroir and individual vineyards, separate vinifications for the finest parcels, use of the historic cellar for oak aging alongside modern technical facilities, and sustainability-oriented practices.
Terroir and vineyards
Located in the municipality of Neive, in the heart of the Langhe, the estate benefits from historic vineyards including Santo Stefano, Gallina, Messoirano, Montebertotto, i Cortini, Marcorino, Basarin and Valtorta. The Santo Stefano vineyard is often noted for its distinctive exposure and microclimate and is mapped in the estate's historical records.
