2023 Cigliuti 'Campass' Barbera d'Alba

Aromas of dark blackberry, plum, lavender, and violet lead into notes of sage, cedar, and subtle leather. The medium-to-full-bodied palate delivers blue fruit, cocoa, and spice framed by firm structure and vibrant, driving acidity through a savory, linear finish.

Hand-harvested Barbera ferments with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks for up to 12 days. The wine ages for 18 months in French oak barriques (20% new) to integrate French oak spice with the parcel's natural concentration.

Grapes come from 35-year-old vines in the southeast-facing Campass parcel within the Serraboella cru of Neive. Situated at 350 meters elevation in clay soils, the site provides excellent drainage and ideal sun exposure for ripe, structured fruit.
