Much more structure than the Serraboella Dolcetto 2013. Racy with lots of fruit. Real grip. Old oak. Drinking range: 2016 - 2019 Rating: 16.5 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Sept 2016)

After 18 months in oak and one year in bottle before release, this Barbera is a cut above many of its peers. Dazzling red cherry purity, licorice and leathery intensity with a lot of energy, depth and fine tannins. A must-have for your cellar over the winter months.

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.
