2022 Az. Agr. Fratelli Cigliuti Barbaresco “Bricco di Neive Vie Erte”, Piedmont, Italy
ABOUT THIS WINE
“Vie Erte” is sourced from parcels within the prestigious Bricco di Neive vineyard, one of the historic crus of Barbaresco. The hillside’s calcareous-clay soils and optimal southwestern exposures provide ideal conditions for Nebbiolo, yielding wines of aromatic lift, structural precision, and remarkable longevity.
1.5 ha of vines planted in 1997 to the calcareous, sandy soil of Bricco di Neive, 350 meters above sea level. 15-20 day maceration and fermentation in stainless steel at controlled temperatures with indigenous yeasts. Aged 26 months in large Slavonian oak casks.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Azienda Agricola Fratelli Cigliuti is a family-run estate based in Neive, a cornerstone commune of the Barbaresco appellation. Established in the 1960s, the winery remains deeply rooted in tradition while embracing meticulous vineyard management and thoughtful, restrained winemaking.
The Cigliuti family prioritizes sustainable farming, low yields, and careful canopy work to ensure optimal fruit quality. In the cellar, their philosophy centers on precision and balance, favoring techniques that highlight vineyard character over overt intervention. “Vie Erte” exemplifies this ethos—an elegant, terroir-driven Barbaresco that speaks clearly of Bricco di Neive and the enduring legacy of the Langhe.
