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 2017 Barbera d'Alba Vigna Serraboella is rich and plummy in its first impression. A rush of sweet red and purplish berry fruit, spice and floral notes all race out of the glass. The Serraboella is very pretty, especially considering it was made predominantly from second-generation fruit following a brutal hailstorm on April 15. A slight edginess and dryness remains, but the 2017 is very nicely done just the same. The Barbera was bottled about a month before this tasting. I won't be surprised if it shows even better with time in bottle.
