Castello Di Cigognola
Oltrepo' Pavese Barbera DOC Dodicidodici
This is lovely wine and for those who love inky reds with plenty of kick. You cannot fail to enjoy it. It has all the quality and opulence you would expect when the vineyard is owned by the Morattis, one of the richest families in Italy and the wine maker is Riccardo Cotarella whom some see as the Robert Parker of Italian wine making.!
