Cigliuti 2007 Vigne Erte Nebbiolo (Barbaresco)
- $67
Here’s a rich and densely extracted Barbaresco from the Erte vineyard in Neive that will appeal to those who like a bigger, more extracted style of Nebbiolo. The wine is bursting with intense layers of black fruit, prune and plum followed by sweet tones of exotic spice. The mouthfeel is chewy, tart and very firm.

Cigliuti 2004 Serraboella Nebbiolo (Barbaresco)
- Online Exclusive

Dense and chewy, this highly nuanced example offers up an enticing combination of animal notes (sweaty saddle, leather) and vibrant fruit (raspberry, cherry). The abundant tannins and ambitious level of oak will benefit from five to 10 years aging.

Cigliuti 2007 Briccoserra Red (Langhe)
- Online Exclusive
- $52
Briccoserra (a blend of red grapes from Piedmont in northern Italy) offers awkward aromas of mature fruit and smoked meat, along the lines of honey baked ham or cured beef. You can feel the heat in the mouth and the bold intensity of the structure.
