Cigliuti Barbaresco Bricco di Neive Vie Erte

This sophisticated, remarkably elegant, and highly aromatically expressive Barbaresco opens with a striking, complex bouquet of macerated red cherries, wild raspberries, and blood orange peel, beautifully overlaid with classic nuances of pressed rose petals, star anise, wild mint, and warm saddle leather. On the medium-bodied palate, it showcases wonderful linear focus, purity, and vertical energy, balancing its core of juicy red forest fruits with a vibrant line of natural acidity and fine, chalky noble tannins. The finish is intensely long, dry, and heavily punctuated by a distinctive mineral and iron-driven savoriness.

Food Pairing: A phenomenal partner for refined regional dining, pairing masterfully with pan-seared duck breast with a cherry reduction, slow-braised veal shank (Osso Buco), fresh tajarin pasta tossed in sage butter and shaved truffles, or aged Castelmagno cheese.
