Azienda Agricola Fratelli Cigliuti
Piedmont, in Italy

The Cigliuti family has been in the business for four generations, though it was not until 1964 that Renato Cigliuti, the present winemaker, began bottling the wine to sell. Of their 8 hectares, 6 are used for vines and 2 for their continuing hazelnut business. His daughters, Claudia and Silvia, now help him in the cellar. The wines are produced organically, using only copper sulphate in the vineyards. Fermentation is done in stainless steel at controlled temperatures and maturation takes place in Slovenian and French large barrels and barriques.

The Dolcetto is aged in big oak barrels for 2-3 months, an immensely attractive red-fruited wine, spicy, with bright acidity and for early drinking. The Barbera is a particularly beautiful wine, one of the best modern style examples of this grape you can find.

The Briccoserra has traditionally been a blend of Nebbiolo and barbera but now includes 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged for 15 months in new barriques, but with such complexity of flavour that you would hardly know. The Barbaresco is aged in both large old oak barrels (60%) and new barriques (40%). Other product offering and bottling include Barbaresco, Dolcetto d’Alba, Barbera d’Alba, Langhe with a total production of some 2,500 cases made.

The wines of Cigliuti Renato is not common in Asian wine markets and are priced at a premium and may be out of reach to the average wine consumer. The wines are modern, and its Barbarescos usually peak with 10 years of bottle age, while the simpler ones, from Dolcetto to Barbera are best appreciated within 5 years of its release.
