ALDO CONTERNO
Barolo Cicala 2020
- 95 points -
An intense version, with a solid backbone of tannins and fresh acidity defining its cherry, raspberry, iron, menthol and spice flavors. Vibrant and peppery, showing fine energy and a long, resonant finish. Offers superb balance and expression. Best from 2027 through 2047. 500 cases made, 50 cases imported.
