    i. Biography

    It is normal to stay here. We are the next generation.

    The Climb

    Technical training at Scuola Enologica di Alba gave Silvia Cigliuti the winemaking base that later carried into the cellar, the vineyards, and the barrel work of the estate. That formation was not just a credential; it became the working structure behind a career built on continuity, family, and place. Since 2000, Silvia has been winemaker and Family Owner of Fratelli Cigliuti (Azienda Agricola F.lli Cigliuti), a role that keeps the estate’s name tied to the hills around Neive and to the daily rhythm of the property itself.

    Today

    At Azienda Agricola F.lli Cigliuti in Neive, Silvia Cigliuti moves between vineyard and cellar as part of a family operation defined by clear responsibilities and shared work. “We have some specific rules (e.g., Claudia handles marketing and sales) but we both work in the cellar and vineyards.” The division is practical, and it keeps the house running without theatrics. On external guidance, she is equally direct: “Cigliuti does not have a consultant, as my father is so experienced.” The estate is shaped by internal knowledge, with decisions grounded in accumulated experience rather than outside formula.

    Signature

    Barbaresco Serraboella, Barbaresco Vie Erte, Barbera Campass, and Barbera Serraboella mark Silvia Cigliuti’s work in the clearest terms. These wines carry the estate’s address in their names and show a style built from place, repetition, and close attention in both vineyard and cellar. The range reads as a practical vocabulary for the house: specific, grounded, and formed through long practice rather than presentation.

    In Their Words “We have some specific rules (e.g., Claudia handles marketing and sales) but we both work in the cellar and vineyards.” “Cigliuti does not have a consultant, as my father is so experienced.”
