The 2019 Barbaresco Serraboella is stellar. Here, too, the austere style of the year comes through loud and clear, but with that extra kick of mid-palate sweetness that distinguishes the Serraboella. Bright, red-toned Nebbiolo fruit, crushed flowers, mint, chalk and orange peel all build in the glass. The Serraboella is usually a bit richer, but in the 2019 it is a Barbaresco very much marked by sizzling tension. I would cellar it for at least a few years. There's real depth and substance here.

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.
