The one with the striking lavender coloured label! A single vineyard in Bricco di Neive with twenty-five year old vines. Amazingly this has 50% new wood, but you'd never know. Gorgeously rich, it rolls out quite slowly across the palate, creamy and supple silk-velvet textured damson and plum fruit. L&S (Nov 2013)

Dark red cherries, plums, spices, sweet tobacco and licorice all blossom from the 2011 Barbera d'Alba Campass. The 2011 is rich and layered on the palate, with an extra dimension of volume from the aging in French oak barrels (50% new). The Campass is distinguished for its structure and energy, not to mention its terrific overall balance. 2013-2019 Rating: 92 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.
