Tasting note Cigliuti Barbaresco Serraboella
The wine is elegant and complex on the nose with powerful aromas of red cherries, mushrooms, and earthy notes, complemented by refined hints of rose petals. On the palate, a very soft entry, followed by an explosion of juice and concentration with notes of cocoa, licorice, and succulent red cherries. The wine has a beautiful structure with lively acidity and tannins.
In the young wine, these are not yet fully integrated, making them somewhat more prominent. About 6 years after the harvest, the wine becomes more harmonious and the mouthfeel more refined. The finish is long and impressive. A wine with great aging potential and a classic wine for cellaring.
Food Pairing
Cigliuti Barbaresco Serraboella pairs well with game dishes, stews, red meat, lamb with a rich sauce, truffles, mushrooms, and hard cheeses. A quintessential dinner wine!
Additional information
Cigliuti is a small, charming family estate in Piedmont in the Serraboella Cru, known for its excellent quality Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Dolcetto wines. The Cigliuti family has been growing grapes and hazelnuts for centuries. The estate has been in the family's hands since 1964 and is currently managed by the fourth and fifth generations, Renato Cigliuti and his daughters Silvia and Claudia. They lead the estate with the same passion and dedication. The family lives on the estate, which sits atop the hill, offering a magnificent view over the vineyards. The estate produces only 30,000 bottles annually, which makes the wines hard to come by.
The grapes grow in calcareous vineyards in the Serraboella Cru. The vineyards are located at an altitude of about 350 meters and have a southwest orientation, allowing the grapes to receive sun until late in the day. The temperature differences between day and night ensure that the grapes can ripen slowly and completely without losing their freshness.
After the manual harvest, the grapes ferment in stainless steel, after which the wine ages partly in Slavonian oak barrels and partly in medium-sized French oak barrels. This gives the wine a beautiful balance between fruit, oak, and the freshness so characteristic of Cigliuti.
Wine ratings/awards
The wine regularly wins (inter)national awards and has received the "3 Bicchieri" from Gambero Rosso for various vintages, the highest Italian accolade.
