Cigliuti Barbera d'Alba Serraboella 2015

Cigliuti’s first vintage of this 100% Barbera wine was 1964. The fruit comes from 17-year-old vines from the Serraboella cru in Neive. The site has a southeastern exposure and is situated at 350m above sea level on clayey soils. The must is fermented in steel vats at controlled temperatures. The wine is aged for 18 months in second- and third-use French oak barriques.

"Cigliuti's 2015 Barbera d'Alba Vigna Serraboella is very pretty. Inviting, pliant, with soft contours and lovely overall depth, the 2015 will drink well upon release. This is a relatively mid-weight, restrained style for the vintage. Sweet floral notes add perfume through to the finish. I would prefer to drink the 2015 over the next few years." - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
