Cigliuti’s 2005 Barbaresco Vigna Erte is beautiful in this vintage. The wine shows its trademark aromatics, but has more richness in its fruit and greater finesse in its tannins than has been the case in the past. The once-young vines are acquiring age, and this bottling finally seems to be coming into its own. This is the best Vigna Erte yet. The wine was aged 20-hectoliter casks. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020. Cigliuti is an estate that doesn’t seem to get much attention these days. To be sure, these are not flashy, obvious wines, yet for the most part they deliver plenty of enjoyment and pleasure. Importers: Indigenous Selections, Fort Lauderdale FL; tel.
