Takes a bit to open up, but well worth the wait. Elegant and soft textured. Pretty feminine- rose petals, button mushroom, sour cherry. Will definitely benefit another 5 years bottle age.

At Il Buco NY, recommended highly by Somm. Really good. Perfectly nature. Not familiar with this producer but a nice treat. 1998 vintage

Claudia Cigliuti brought this with her to New York this week. Almost thirty years old and still displaying incredible poise and pleasure. A joy to drink. Will be collecting this from here on out. An ideal wine.

Cherries, velvet, rose petals. Power. Symphony.

Claudia's wines are always so amazing. Just the right amount of classic with amazing finesse and femininity. Still showing youthful tannins and oak. Wait on this babe for a few years... or 10.

The nose was gorgeous, both wonderfully floral and intense with dark red and blue fruits, as notes of mint, herbs de Provence, tobacco and black olive added depth. On the palate, silky textures were quickly offset by brisk acidity and young fine tannin, yet the Serraboella's underlying tart red berry fruit, dried orange and savory spice persisted throughout the experience. It finished firm, youthfully so, yet long with saturating dark fruits. This is a Barbaresco to follow over the next 15 - 20 years. Beautiful.
