BARBARESCO VIE ERTE RENATO CIGLIUTI 2006

THE HISTORY

The winery has belonged to the Cigliuti family for four generations.

It was given its name, Fratelli Cigliuti, by Renato’s father and uncle, who until 1964 used to sell grapes and unbottled wine on the local market.

It was his grandfather, his father Leone and his uncle Romualdo who handed the traditional art of making wine down to Renato, the current owner, his wife Dina and his daughters Claudia and Silvia.

Renato Cigliuti began working for the family business when he was a slip of a lad and, growing up, decided to carry it on himself.

At the same time, he also decided to change its winemaking philosophy.

He had always believed that the local Langhe soil was capable of producing high quality, long-lasting wines.

He thus began to thin the grapes in his vineyards, a technique practised by only a handful of producers at the time. His neighbours would ask him if he was mad — those were the postwar years and throwing away food wasn’t something to be taken lightly! Renato used to reply that, since he couldn’t have quality and quantity both at once, he preferred to opt for quality.

According to him, quality was something that had to be put in glass, which is how, in 1964, he came to release his first 300 bottles of Barbaresco
