BARBERA D'ALBA
2019 Campass Cigliuti
Lavender, violets, blueberry and dark chocolate aromas amass on the nose. Sleek and ripe in the mouth, great drive and intensity, a little densit’s builds, with dark chocolate, deep blackberry notes and a gentle whiff of coffee grains. Broader and fuller than the Serraboella at the moment, but no lack of freshness and drive. Drinking range: 2022 - 2030L&S (Oct 2021)
75cl bottles (case of 6)

The 2019 Barbera d'Alba Campass emerges from a single south-east facing block. If offers up an exciting mélange of blueberry, spice, lavender, mocha and licorice. Deep, dense and beautifully layered, the 2019 is a gorgeous wine from Cigliuti. It spent 18 months in French oak, about 15% new.

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.
