The 2021 Cigliuti Barbaresco Vie Erte is a beautifully refined Barbaresco from the renowned Cigliuti estate in Piedmont. Produced from carefully selected Nebbiolo fruit, it showcases the elegance and precision that define the region, offering aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry and rose petals, layered with notes of blood orange, spice and dried herbs.
On the palate, it is finely structured and harmonious, with vibrant acidity and polished tannins supporting flavours of sour cherry, red plum and subtle savoury spice. The texture is elegant yet persistent, leading to a long, dry finish with impressive balance, freshness and complexity.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Barbaresco for those who appreciate Nebbiolo's perfume, finesse and ageing potential. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar over the next 10–15 years as further complexity develops. Pairs beautifully with mushroom risotto, roast duck, braised beef, truffle dishes and aged hard cheeses.
