  I want the smaller version. Components are good but abv is too high (15%). Need more time to get acquainted.
  
  Expressive aromas of black cherry, red plums, and sweet tobacco with spiced oak and plenty acid. Texture of milk chocolate.

  Cigliuti with Claudia Cigliuti (Neive, Cuneo, Italy): This is a selection from a vineyard with 35 year old vines on clay soil that sees more new oak (about 20% new French barriques Claudia said). A nose of blackcurrants, black plums, dark chocolate and liquorice. Bold, with a touch of lavender and some spicy oak. Drinking more velvety and fine than the Serraboella. Richer, more rounded and complex than the Serraboella. Dark fruited with minerals, cacao and black liquorice. There is a little spicy oak yet to integrate. A high quality Barbera. I’d cellar it for at least a couple of years.

  The nose was dark and intense with ripe plum, cherry, sweet spice, and dried floral tones. On the palate, I found soft, velvety textures with a combination of minerals, spice and zesty acids as dark red fruits saturated the senses along with a hint of bitter herbs. The finish was long and spicy with lingering notes of fresh cherry.
