Intensity defines Poderi Aldo Conterno’s 2021 Cicala Barolo, a deep, tightly wound wine bursting with dark cherry and raspberry layered over rose, citrus zest, warm spice and graphite, all framed by a powerful core of tannin and minerality. The texture feels plush yet firmly structured, with hints of tobacco, cocoa and iron trailing through a long, vivid finish that clearly signals a top, long-lived vintage and a vineyard that speaks in a more brooding, serious tone than its neighbors.

Poderi Aldo Conterno’s Barolo “Cicala” is a single‑vineyard expression from the Cicala cru in Bussia (Monforte d’Alba), made from 100% Nebbiolo (Lampia/Michet) and aged mainly in large Slavonian oak; it shows the estate’s classical balance of muscular structure, bright acidity and tight, ageworthy tannins. Expect rose and violet florals over ripe red berries with savory tobacco, leather and mineral underpinnings—powerful, long‑lived Barolo with clear site identity.
