Poderi Aldo Conterno
Cicala Barolo Nebbiolo
Huge power and structure clearly with plenty of great years ahead. Signature tar and roses, crushed sweet red berries, dried mission figs, damp leaves and minerals. Finishes with exceptional length and with firm tannins. 2 hour decant at minimum. From the cellar of Blue Hill at Stone Barns.

Jun 6th, 2020Don’t get me wrong, totally gulpable but a little dirty on the nose. Classic chestnut and flowers with red maraschino cherry and tobacco and while aged and in a good point; still a little dirty.

Aug 12th, 20182000 - one of the best Barolo I have tasted in a very long time. Outstanding perfumed nose - great intensity, knock out power on an elegantly long and balanced bottle. Would drink more Barolo if they all tasted like this
