"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. "

"Ripe strawberry, with hints of cherry and flowers. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins and rich fruit. Tight and firm."
