Beautifully perfumed, raspberries, sour cherries, hawthorn, rose hip and mocha. In the mouth the fruit delivers with a red profile, sour cherries once more, damson and raspberries. There is grip and a little sinew, fine rich tannins, a gorgeous lithe acid that gives shape and balance to the finish. Drinking range: 2024 - 2034 L&S (Jan 2022)

This fragrant red has heady aromas of truffle, star anise, violet, plum and hint of menthol. The palate is a bit more restrained at this stage, offering dried cherry, licorice and mocha alongside tightly wound tannins. It’s still young and needs time to fully develop.

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.
