"The 2020 Barbaresco Bricco di Neive Vie Erte is classy, elegant and polished, with the harmony that is such a signature of the best wines in this vintage. Bright red-toned fruit, blood orange, mint, spice and white pepper lend brilliance. There's plenty of the linear focus that is typical here, but no hard edges or awkward contours. The Vie Erte is the more classic of the Cigliuti Barbarescos. In 2020, it's a real stunner."

"A rich style, this red features black cherry, black currant and violet aromas and flavors, shaded by tar, eucalyptus and iron notes. There's a solid structure underneath and this finishes long, with emphasis on the fruit. Best from 2026 through 2042. ‡B.S."
