Bricco Bussia Vigna Cicala Barolo Nebbiolo 1989

9.5

Dark tawny color. Powerful nose. Notes of black plum, tea, roses, black earth and some anise. Balanced. Rounded out over 8 hours. In a great zone right now. Everything you want in a nicely aged Barolo. Give it its needed air. — 6 years ago

Wonderful Sicilian natural wine! Deep gold (let’s call it light orange) in color. Hints of grilled lemons with a hint of smoke. Beautifully “funky.” A true winner! Great with appetizers! Thank you Franky Bella for this selection. — 6 years ago

Was hanging with Aldo the other night and it got predictably messy. All his wines were good, but there was a white that I didn't get a snap of that was divine. I'll look into it again and report back. — 8 years ago

DD: 16.02.2018
Черри-кола, чернично-ежевичный конфитюр, пряная слива, молодая морковь с ботвой, тархун, мята, лепестки фиалки, экстракт темного пиона, горькая корица, чуть лакричный финиш. Мягкая игристость со спелой, сладкой, но не липкой фруктовостью и подсушивающим послевкусием. Максимально легко и непринуждённо, но при этом насыщенно и не без определённой структуры. Не прыгает выше головы, но делает то, что должно. И да, это идеальный аккомпанемент к пицце. — 6 years ago

@Riddley Walker You get such great Italian wines where you are. Ever in DC? Let me know.

Riddley Walker

Indeed! And a small piece of paper with the message from the winemaker hidden under the capsule was a nice touch too 👍🏻 @Rob Brobst III

I actually bought this bottle in Ukraine 😉 With politicians playing their games I’m not sure I will get a US visa any time soon being a Russian citizen and all 🤷🏼‍♂️ But I’d like to revisit DC one day! (Stayed for a month there many years ago when I still was in high school) @MaJ CappS

Not quite as interesting as the 14. This vintage runs fruitier and a tad more conventional, though still terribly enjoyable. — 7 years ago
