The same selection of fruit as the Vie Erte Barbaresco, aged eighteen months in slavonian oak foudres. Fine and bright fruit, with good tension. Floral and precise, it develops cherry and spice and a fine, subtle length. This is lovely now, but since it is really a Barbaresco with a little less barrel-ageing, it will undoubtedly keep and develop for many years. L&S (Sept 2014)

Mid to pale garnet. Lively sour cherry, smells slightly volatile but only so that it lifts the cherry fruit and light floral aromas. Fine texture, super-dry finesse to the texture. Rather young and unformed. Dry, dry tannins but not in a negative way. Needs time. Drinking range: 2017 - 2023 Rating: 16.5+ Julia Harding MW, www.JancisRobinson.com (Nov 2015)

Light cherry red. Civilised nose with a firm spine and lots of acidity and tannin on the end. Great structure. Definitely needs food but very well done. Drinking range: 2015 - 2019 Rating: 16.5/20 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Aug 2015)

GROWN-UP RED. A spellbinding wine made from the barolo grape in Piemonte. A fragrance of dried rose petals and sandalwood (from 18 months in Slavonian oak), tannins clipping at your tongue like a fragrant black tea. Black truffles or vitello tonnato would work.Victoria Moore, The Daily Telegraph (Jun 2015)

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.
