Tasting Note:
The Poderi Aldo Conterno 2016 Barolo Bussia Cicala offers a ripe fruit profile with layers of menthol and medicinal herb. The finish is beautiful, long and chalky, and you don't get as much alcohol in the Cicala (compared to Romirasco). The fruit is dried and streamlined, and this wine does show good promise for aging. The tannins are beautiful, coating your teeth and palate with no bitter edge.
Vinification:
The Winery owns 25 hectares of healthy grapevines
and produces about 80,000 bottles annually with no chemical but not certified Organic.
