"The 2023 Barbera d'Alba Campass is another terrific effort from Cigliuti. Blue-toned fruit, lavender, spice, menthol and chocolate are amplified. Aging in French oak barrels, 20% new, works well here. The natural concentration of this parcel marries so nicely with French oak."

"The 2022 Barbera D'Alba Campass comes from 35-year-old vines within Serraboella that generally ripen a bit earlier. The wine spent 18 months in French oak barrique (20% new and the rest old) and is the only wine for which they use barrique. It has a deep red/purple color and opens to layered and pure notes of blackberry liqueur, lavender oils, cedar, and wet stone, with a fresh pepper spice that frames the aromatics beautifully. The acidity is remarkable and refreshing, with a bright, even feel without greenness and refined tannins. Very pretty and long on the palate, this is certainly a highlight of the vintage. Drink 2025-2040."

"The 2022 Barbera d'Alba Campass is a ripe, exotically lush wine. Black cherry, plum, spice, leather, menthol and chocolate are all dialed up. The personality of this warm, dry year is more evident here than it is in the Serraboella just bottled two months ago. The Campass is still coming together. I would like to taste this in another few months' time."

"Offers bright black cherry, blackberry, violet and earth flavors up front, with a modicum of dry tannins following through on the finish. Overall, this red maintains a sense of balance, with fine length. Drink now through 2029. 330 cases made, 110 cases imported."
