Barbaresco Bricco di Neive

Medium

Cork

Vie Erte, which means 'steep slope', is typically the easier-going, more elegant of Cigliuti’s two Barbaresco, characterised by poor, sandy soil and a south to southeast exposure. That said, the 2022 demonstrates plenty of vigour. The nose suggests a wildness of forest berries and woodland scrub. It is savoury and earthy with territorial notes of hazelnut and roasted chestnut, and clove and smoked pepper on the backend. Full and sinewy in muscles, its confidently extracted tannins build, with a decisively dry chalkiness grasping resolutely to the finish.
