Aldo Conterno Barolo Bussia Cicala 2008

WineSaint

Powerful and brooding, with dense blackberry, tar and violets building slowly in the glass. The sandy soils of Bussia translate to gorgeous mineral tension that cuts through waves of concentrated fruit. Formidable tannins currently grip the finish. This needs serious cellaring. A structured powerhouse built for the long haul. Drink 2018-2030.
