I love my Castelli Spettacolo RoS gloves.
The long zip makes them easy to get on and off even if your hands are a bit sweaty. But they are very breathable, so sweating isn't such a big problem. The narrow wrist means the sleeve of your jacket can go over the top and prevent the rain running down into them. I live in highland Scotland and wear these through autumn to spring. On really cold days I add a pair of think silk liner gloves.

They now also do a more extreme waterproof winter glove, the Espresso GT.


Another vote for the Spettacolo gloves. Decent warmth with fantastic dexterity. The zipper makes them exceptionally form fitting, almost like an aero winter glove. I’ll use these for hard rides that stay in the 30s Fahrenheit (-1 to 4 Celsius). If it’s going to be in the 40s F (5 - 9 C), I’ll use a lighter weight glove or they are fine for a casual ride in the lower 40s (5 - 7 C). Castelli says you can use the up to the lower 50s (12 C). I would use summer gloves in the lower 50s. If you want warmth for a ride entirely in the 20s (-1 Celsius or colder), I would choose a different glove (or mitten).

Also, the other Castelli RoS and Perfetto gloves for slightly warmer temps, are fantastic, too.
