The La Contea di Neive Estate
The wine is a living material, with an exact date of birth, an evolutionary path and an end determined by its ability to continue over the years. Each wine should be tasted at the best time of its evolution, because only then will express their optimum harmony on the type to which it belongs.
The care for the quality, love for their land and why not, by the ambition to compete with the production of wine, real engine of the agricultural economy of Alba, was born, the work of Tonino Verro, in the early 90 a small farm, with appropriate technology, also known as La Contea. Tonino's commitment also extends to the vineyards spread over the hills of the Langhe and Roero and the production decision is aimed at the quality, the lower yield of the strains has increased the structure of the wines, the concentration in color, fruity fragrances and in complexity of taste.
As the restaurant is owned by Tonino so the farm is in the hands of Claudia. Match of the few vineyards of ownership, increased by all the vineyards in the best surì acquired, we now offer a very special wines from grapes treated with natural methods and organic farming, especially with so much passion.

Boeira Tawny 50 Year Port is produced from Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca and Tinto Cao.
Brownish color with strong coppery reflections. Toasted almonds and dried fruit stand out on the nose, with a delicate sweetness. Intense flavors on the plate, but a refinement and elegance that reflects its level of ageing. A very long evolving finish.
Boeira 50 Years Old Port is excellent as a digestive.
pH : 3.57TA : 9.48 g/L
RS : 152g/L
Then, it is aged for 50 years in 550 liter French oak barrels.
Traditional Porto winemaking with skin contact maceration and short alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks followed by fortification.
The inviting nose offers up scents of Santa Rosa red plums, cassis, dried sweet figs and pomegranate backed by sandalwood and hints of tea rose. Bright and exciting on the palate, the entry begins with firm tannins and complex layers of red raspberries, bergamot tea, dried herbs and rose petal notes. Refreshing acidity carries the wine throughout the finish.
To match with the juicy acidity and bright nature of this wine, we offer up a vegan recipe for Spicy Quinoa with Asparagus and Shiitake Mushrooms. The shiitakes are a classic pairing with Pinot Noir, but when combined with the spicy ginger, garlic and crushed red pepper, all melds beautifully into a dish that pairs seamlessly with the 2020 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir.
Review:
Aromas of spiced cherry, plum and fresh mint. Medium-to full-bodied with silky tannins. An interesting, well-balanced mix of fresh red and black fruit and savory spice. Good concentration. Drink or hold.
-James Suckling
The 2020 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast is ripe with raspberry candy, crushed rose petal, and turned earth. The tannins in the 2020 are a touch more present and emerge on the finish, and it also has more warmth. Drink this over the next 10 years.
