Barbaresco DOCG tasting dinners in Neive's restaurants
Barbaresco a Tavola is the historic event through which the Enoteca Regionale del Barbaresco presents the latest vintage of Barbaresco DOCG each year. Launched in 1994, it is now one of the most beloved wine events in the Langhe, involving restaurants across the denomination's municipalities, including Neive, a stunning hilltop village in the province of Cuneo, in the heart of Piedmont's wine country.
The heart of the event is the blind tasting of the new Barbaresco DOCG vintage, served during dinner at participating venues. The wines offered are identical in all participating restaurants, providing attendees with an authentic, unbiased comparison. Each chef pairs the glasses with a menu inspired by local cuisine and regional products, showcasing their own creativity.
In Neive, the initiative involves four pillars of the local gastronomic tradition, each presenting a menu dedicated to the event:
Vegetarian alternatives to the menu are available upon request. Reservations must be made directly with each restaurant.
Neive is part, along with Barbaresco, Treiso, and a portion of Alba, of the production area for Barbaresco DOCG, one of the most famous Piedmontese red wines in the world, made from Nebbiolo grapes. The event was created to celebrate the bond between the wine and its land, bringing producers, restaurateurs, and wine lovers together in a convivial atmosphere. Visiting Neive during Barbaresco a Tavola means discovering one of Italy's most beautiful villages, its cellars, and a Langhe cuisine that pairs perfectly with the elegant tannins of Barbaresco.
This edition is part of the broader calendar of celebrations for the 40th anniversary of the Enoteca Regionale del Barbaresco, founded on July 5, 1986, and now a reference point for almost all producers in the denomination. An anniversary that makes this event, dedicated to the signature wine of the town of Barbaresco and its neighboring villages, even more significant.
