Cigliuti Barbaresco (2018)

750mL / Serraboella / Italy

Category: Wine
Sub-Category: Red wine

100% Nebbiolo from the Serraboella cru in Neive. The site sits on calcareous soils at 350m above sea level, with a southwestern exposure. The vines are aged between 27 and 57 years old and yields are about 4 to 4.5 tonnes per hectare. Fermentation and maceration takes place in steel vats at controlled temperatures. The wine is matured for 26 months in Slavonian oak casks and mid-sized French oak casks.

Underbrush, grilled Porcini, dried rose and eucalyptus oil aromas take shape in the lass. It's firmly structured, recalling candy coated licorice, cherry marinated in spirits, orange zest and roasted coffee bean while close-grained tannins grip the close.
