Professional Ratings
95Vinous
The 2020 Barbaresco Bricco di Neive Vie Erte is classy, elegant and polished, with the harmony that is such a signature of the best wines in this vintage. Bright red-toned fruit, blood orange, mint, spice and white pepper lend brilliance. There's plenty of the linear focus that is typical here, but no hard edges or awkward contours. The Vie Erte is the more classic of the Cigliuti Barbarescos. In 2020, it's a real stunner.
94Wine Spectator
A rich style, this red features black cherry, black currant and violet aromas and flavors, shaded by tar, eucalyptus and iron notes. There's a solid structure underneath and this finishes long, with emphasis on the fruit.
93Wine Enthusiast
Warmed cherries macerate in a slurry of allspice, clove and dried herbs, while subtle hints of dried earth, black tea and pressed roses all add to the depth of the nose of this wine. The palate bursts with wild raspberries and red currants, leading to a savory midpalate that yearns for roasted meats, mushrooms or game. Elegant and supple tannins provide a plushness that brings a smile.
