The Barolo Cicala Aldo Conterno 2008 is a mature Barolo from the revered Aldo Conterno that reflects the prized terroir of Monforte d`Alba. This Nebbiolo exhibits a concentrated profile of dark cherry, plum and hints of truffle, supported by prominent tannins. The wine`s structure is complemented by mineral notes and a touch of herbal spice, demonstrating the complexity characteristic of the vineyard.

Vinous
Full, bright ruby-red. Deep aromas of black cherry, cassis, licorice, minerals and menthol. Rich, sweet and broad, with a lush texture and impressive fullness to the black fruit flavors. Less easygoing today than the Colonnello but more filled in. Finishes with granular tannins and impressive length. The sandy, calcareous soil here is more typical of Monforte and Castiglione Falletto, notes Giacomo Conterno.Stephen Tanzer1st November 2011
