Cigliuti
The Cigliuti family have been in the business for four
generations, though it was not until 1964 that Renato, the present
winemaker, began bottling the wine to sell. Of their 8 hectares, 6 are used for
vines and 2 for their continuing hazelnut business. He is now helped in the
cellar by his daughters, Claudia and Silvia.
The Cigliutis practise "lutte raisonee", using only copper sulphate in the vineyards. Fermentation is done in stainless steel at controlled temperatures and maturation takes place in Slovenian and French large barrels and barriques.
The Cigliutis practise "lutte raisonee", using only copper sulphate in the vineyards. Fermentation is done in stainless steel at controlled temperatures and maturation takes place in Slovenian and French large barrels and barriques.
The Dolcetto is aged in big oak barrels for 2-3 months, an immensely attractive red fruited wine, spicy, with bright acidity and for early drinking. The Barbera is a particularly beautiful wine, one of the best modern style examples of this grape you can find.
The Briccoserra has traditionally been a blend of Nebbiolo and barbera but now includes 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged for 15 months in new barriques, but with such complexity of flavour that you would hardly know. The Barbaresco is aged in both large old oak barrels (60%) and new barriques (40%).

2007 has been perhaps an ideal season for Dolcetto: the relatively cool summer preserved the fresh violet cream aromas, along with those of plum skin. The Serraboella vineyard's limestone-rich clay soils brought great freshness and purity to the otherwise richly textured, morello black cherry ... MORE Drink 2007-2013 .

In Piedmont, Barbera has always played second fiddle to Nebbiolo, the grape of Barolo & Barbaresco. Now that Barolo prices are so high, the earlier maturing Barbera is coming into its own. One of my great Barbera discoveries comes from Renato Cigliuti. Renato makes exceptional late-picked ... MORE Drink 2008-2016 . | ||||

"Aged only in large slavonian botte, this fine wine benefited from the hot summer to give extremely luscious and elegant, super-ripe strawberry and dried fruit flavours. Seems approachable now but would be even better over the next 3-5 years. Excellent with tuna." (David Berry Green - BBR ... MORE * 15% off single bottle price for Wine Club Members.

From this fine Barbaresco producer and excellent vintage, this is an eclectic, yet no-less accomplished take on the great wines of Alba, blending Nebbiolo (for breed), Barbera (for succulence) and even a dash of Cabernet (for..!) to give a compact black & red cherry tapenade perfumed wine, of ...

A more than worthy successor to Cigliuti family's excellent 2001 vintage, the single-vineyard Vigna Erte is made in a very traditional fashion and aged for 25 months in large slavonian botte, so allowing the sweet rich strawberry fruit and tea aromas, as well as lush, pacy mulberry flavours ...

From the gentler sloping, south facing Bricco di Neive vineyard, 'Vigna Erte' is all about grace and softness (compared to the firmer minerally structure of Serraboella). Bottled in Sept 2008 after 18 months in large Slavonian oak, the nose swirls with classic tea-leaf and summer berry characters, ... MORE Drink 2010-2020 . | ||||

A top-notch, complex Barbaresco from this excellent producer. Perfumed on the nose, expressive on the palate with quite rich, spice-edging fruit, yet with good acidity and harmony. Polished tannins, quite intense and warm on the finish. | ||||

Compared to its sister wine 'Vigna Erte', the older vine, single-vineyard Serraboella is altogether denser, meatier even with rich round black cherry and china tea notes; the palate's more hedonistic too, with bragging power and fleshy voluptuousness.

An early harvest, with some producers forced to rush picking ahead of the October rains. Consequently there's a sense of lifted red cherry stone freshness and delightful perfume about this Barbaresco wine; certainly no 2004 or 2006 even, but just perhaps a wine of great finesse in the years to ...
