[SOLD-OUT] Cigliuti Barbaresco Vie Erte 2012

Wine Front 94 points!
“From Bricco di Neive, aged in Slavionian casks. Dark cherry, chocolate, spices including a shake of pepper and plenty of dried rose perfume. Plush and welcoming, with rich mixed berry flavour, a floral mouth-perfume, grainy open weave tannin, and a long tea-laced finish. Grew in the glass and laid the charm on pretty thick. Very nice indeed, as they say.”
Gary Walsh, Wine Front, Aug 2016

Antonio Galloni 93 points!
“Bottled just a month ago, the 2012 Barbaresco Vie Erte is quite closed and compact today, especially in feel, but the classic red-toned profile of Erte is very much present in the glass. Crushed flowers, sweet red berries, orange peel, mint and white pepper give the 2012 an attractive upper register and a level of delineation that is unusual in this vintage. The steep site, planted just in 1997, has really begun to come around and produce fabulous wines. The Vie Erte was aged entirely in cask.”
Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media, August 2015
