Beschreibung

2016 Barolo Bussia "Cicala" DOCG/b, Poderi Aldo Conterno

Leuchtendes Rubin mit Granatschimmer. Duftet nach Himbeere, dann auch nach Kardamom, Leder und Koriandersamen. Dichtmaschiges Tannin, straff und präzise, spannt einen weiten Bogen, im Finale salzig.

James Suckling:
A really exotic red, showing burnt orange-peel to the dried-strawberry, chocolate-powder and light toasted-oak character. It’s full-bodied and chewy, yet ever so polished. A wild wine. Drink after 2022 and onwards. 
 
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
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. About 6,000 bottles were made.
