From Cigliuti's Bricco de Neive vineyard, relatively young vines on a sandy soil. Supple for Barbaresco, gorgeously gourmand and moreish, yet dryly taut and satisfying. Aged in 2000 litre slavonian oak foudres. L&S (Nov 2013)

Pretty bricky red. Ripe fruit with subtle notes of dried cherries. Fragrant as well as sweet smelling. So much pleasure already though it is still young. Complex flavours of leathery red fruit, dried cherry (not in the least raisiny), firm compact but super-fine tannins. Long and still so young.

Cigliuti's 2009 Barbaresco Vie Erte captures the personality of the vintage in its round, soft personality. Sweet red berries, crushed flowers and tobacco are some of the notes that are woven together in this fleshy, attractive Barbaresco. The 2009 is already gorgeous, but unlike so many other wines in this vintage, there is plenty of freshness, acidity and vibrancy. Gorgeous floral notes add lift on the finish. This is a terrific showing. The 2009 is the first vintage labeled Vie Erte instead of Vigne Erte, a change required to meet the new naming conventions for Barbaresco. The Vie Erte is aged in cask. 2013-2024 Rating: 91+ Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Nov 2013)

Cigliuti

Sisters Claudia and Silvia Cigliuti took over the running of this vineyard from their father Renato. He was the first member of the family to begin bottling his own wine, back in 1964, roughly the same time as other pioneers in the region like Giacosa, but the family can trace its roots on this land back to the late eighteenth century.

Most of the vineyard and the winery is on the Serraboella hill, looking over Neive from the east, and it is the Barbaresco Serraboella which is the flagship wine of the estate. This hill, composed of calcareous marl and tufa soils, gives classic wines which combine the textural finesse of clay and the length and longevity of wines from limestone. The vineyards are tended by the family, by hand, with low yields to ensure full ripeness every year.
