Aperitifs and tastings at Döi Crutin

Opening in the central Piazza Italia, where it breathes the atmosphere of Neive’s old village, is Döi Crutin, directly connected to Cascina Fonda Winery owned by brothers Marco and Massimo Barbero.
It is possible to sit in the dehors or within the walls of the recently renovated venue inside a building dating back to the late 16th century and taste the wines of the production, served by the glass or chosen as the basis for the creation of original cocktails.
Accompanying breadsticks, breads, rich platters of sliced meats, cold cuts, cheeses and jams chosen from small local farms or mountain locations.

Drink, think, eat

• Classic tasting: 3 wines of your choice excluding Alta Langa and Barbaresco → 13.00 €
• Noble tasting: Alta Langa, Barbaresco and another wine of your choice → 20.00 €

Cocktails

The estate wines are also the bases for creating cocktails including:

• Döi Crutin aperitif (sparkling wine + grape must) → €7.00

During warm weather, it is possible to sit in the dehors in the square, around the barrels repurposed as round tables.

The venue

The location is evocative: the historic ricetto of Neive is of origin medieval and is a small, well-kept 17th-century living room, home to restaurants, wine bars and old buildings including the old City Hall, the sleek white Borghese Palace recognizable by the municipal coat of arms and now a museum home of the Wild Woman Dedicated to the Grappa poet Romano Levi.
