Barolo and Barbaresco in the Perfect Drinking Window from Cigliutti, Chiara Boshis and Fabio Gea

There are few pleasures in wine as profound as drinking Nebbiolo in that perfect window of maturity. When time has done its work, Nebbiolo transforms into one of the most elegant,

luxurious, and beautiful liquids on earth—able to transport you to a place of pure happiness and marvel. Whether it is the soil, the altitude, or simply the magic of the terroir, Nebbiolo’s ability to root itself so deeply in its land and then reveal that story after years of quiet evolution is extraordinary. In that sweet spot, no other grape can match its allure gentle yet powerful, ethereal yet structured, always underpinned by a virtually unparalleled deliciousness.

Today, we are proud to offer three outstanding producers, each presenting their own distinct interpretation of Nebbiolo, all perfectly aged into that golden window where youthful tannins, wood, and freshness have gracefully evolved into a seamless harmony. These wines now sing with balance, complexity, and soul, making for an outstanding drinking experience that few things in life can rival.

Cigliuti is one of Barbaresco’s true hidden gems, a family-run estate that embodies authenticity, tradition, and a deep respect for the land. Perched on the Serraboella cru, the heart of their holdings, the Cigliuti family has farmed these steep vineyards for generations, producing wines that speak purely of Nebbiolo’s elegance and the terroir’s finesse. Their Barbarescos are renowned for combining intensity with refinement—perfumed with rose, cherry, and spice, yet structured with fine, age-worthy tannins. Always crafted in small quantities with meticulous care, Cigliuti’s wines represent the very essence of artisanal Piedmont: soulful, precise, and utterly captivating in their ability to age into silken beauty.

Chiara Boschis of E. Pira is one of Barolo’s most visionary producers, a pioneer who marries tradition with an unyielding drive for precision and elegance. Since taking over the historic estate in the late 1980s, she has crafted Barolos of remarkable finesse—wines that balance depth and structure with a modern sense of purity and polish. Working biodynamically in some of Barolo’s greatest crus, including Cannubi, she brings out Nebbiolo’s most enchanting side: aromatic, layered, and full of energy, yet always refined and approachable. Her wines are celebrated for their harmony, silken tannins, and haunting complexity, making them not only benchmarks of Barolo today but also enduring treasures for the cellar.

Fabio Gea’s Barbaresco Riserva “Notu Andava a Tartufi Senza Il Cane” is one of the most distinctive and soulful expressions of Nebbiolo in all of Piedmont—a wine that blends artistry, philosophy, and deep respect for nature. Crafted in minuscule quantities with almost obsessive attention to detail, it embodies Gea’s unconventional spirit and his pursuit of purity, made with minimal intervention and aged patiently to let the vineyard’s voice speak with clarity. The result is a Barbaresco of profound character: aromatic and layered, with roses, earth, spice, and a mineral drive that unfolds seamlessly across the palate. Both ethereal and powerful, this Riserva is less a wine than an experience, a liquid poem that captures Nebbiolo’s ability to be hauntingly beautiful, intellectually compelling, and emotionally moving all at once.
