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.
The 2016 Barbera d'Alba Vigna Serraboella, just bottled, is fabulous. Dark, textured and yet also light on its feet and vibrant, the 2016 is a rockstar wine. Hints of lavender, menthol, plum, licorice and espresso round out this super-expressive, silky Barbera from Cigliuti. The 2016 spent 18 months in oak, equal parts cask and used 500-liter tonneaux. Don't miss it.
