Fragrant black cherry, blackberry and violets. In the mouth this is juicy and bright with great intensity of black fruit, lifted with a ripe fleshy fruit core, good tannic build and then great freshness and length. Drinking range: 2022 - 2030 L&S (Oct 2021)

The 2019 Barbera d'Alba Vigna Serraboella is a blend of three parcels in the property. Plush, racy and supple, it shows all the charm of the year. Dark red cherry, plum, mocha and spice all flesh out in the glass. The 2019 spent 18 months, half in cask and half in neutral French oak. Drinking range: 2022 - 2031 Rating: 92 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Sept 2021)
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.
