Aldo Conterno Barolo Cicala 2016

WineSaint
Restrained and mineral-driven, with iron, crushed chalk and white pepper defining the Bussia character. The aromatics show exotic spice and pressed flowers, but the palate remains tightly coiled and austere. Sinewy tannins frame dried Mediterranean herbs and stony minerality. Classic Cicala reserve that needs cellaring through 2026-2028.
