savory notes of potpourri, incense & dried meats ~ plummy w black cherry, tar & dried Mediterranean herbs ~ food totally helped break down the tannins exposing the wine’s silky juiciness
Thank You @Antonio Galloni for pointing out this incredible value!

The 2019 Langhe Nebbiolo is an absolute delight. Aromatic, nuanced and fleshy, the Cigliuti's Langhe Nebbiolo outperforms pretty much most of its peer group, showing notable depth as well as pedigree. This is a very serious wine. Then again, the Langhe Nebbiolo is a cask of Barbaresco Via Erte that simply sees a shorter aging regime than the Barbaresco itself. It is one of the hidden gems in Piedmont.

Near the top of my Langhe Nebbiolos for this year. Lovely effort from the Cigliuti family. Looking forward to heading back to Piemonte.

My first bottle of Cigliuti (thanks Cathy), and it's quite delicious. Young, fresh, tightly wound, but sure does hit the spot with pizza on a snowy Monday night in Vail!
