Description

Discover the refined allure of Barolo Cicala DOCG from Poderi Aldo Conterno, a standout red wine hailing from Italy's Piedmont region. This expression draws from the esteemed Cicala vineyard, where vines, aged 45 to 50 years, feature primarily the Lampia clone of Nebbiolo planted on Rupestris du Lot rootstock. Replanting occurs periodically to maintain vitality, ensuring grapes reach peak quality through meticulous manual harvest and on-site selection.

Poderi Aldo Conterno balances innovation and heritage across its portfolio. Wines like Langhe Rosso, Chardonnay Bussiador, Barbera d'Alba Conca Tre Pile, and Nebbiolo Favot embrace contemporary approaches, yet the Barolo lineup stays true to time-honored practices. Expect clean lines, polished character, and an ethereal quality in every sip, making it a prime choice for cellaring or immediate enjoyment by discerning enthusiasts.

Elevating its prestige, this Barolo Cicala DOCG earns 97 points from Wine Spectator for its pure, supple texture laced with rose, cherry, raspberry, vanilla, and toasty oak notes. It flows seamlessly, revealing refined tannins on the close alongside a lingering saline mineral edge that promises further evolution.

James Suckling awards it 96 points, highlighting aromas of burnt orange peel, nutmeg, hazelnut, and ripe dried strawberry. The medium to full body carries firm, linear tannins toward a fresh, vivid conclusion brimming with energy.

At 14.50% ABV in a 750 ml bottle, this dry red (sweetness level 01) embodies Piedmont's Nebbiolo tradition. Ideal for those seeking a sophisticated Italian red wine that delivers elegance and depth, Barolo Cicala DOCG Aldo Conterno invites you to explore the Langhe's timeless appeal. Whether pairing with robust dishes or savoring solo, it stands as a compelling addition to any collection.
