Aldo Conterno Barolo Cicala 2009

Barolo, Italy

WineSaint

Rich aromatics of black fruit, earth and leather show immediate appeal, but the palate reveals a wine still finding its voice. Firm tannins and vibrant acidity provide excellent structure, yet the fruit feels muted behind this framework. Classic Barolo architecture with remarkable elegance. This needs cellaring to reach its potential. Give it three to five years for full integration.
