ALDO CONTERNO 2021 CICALA BAROLO

Description

WINE SPECTATOR 97 POINTS – “This red is round, fleshyand expressive, featuring cherry, raspberry, hibiscus, iron and sweet spice flavors. The suppletexture is offset with dense, yet refined tanninsas this red extends on the brightand kaleidoscopic finish. Best from 2030 through 2050. 580 cases made, 70 cases imported.”
JAMES SUCKLING 97 POINTS – “A super-intense and perfumed Barolo, graceful and powerful, with aromas of Parma violets, citrus, leaves, lush cherries and yellow stone fruit. Full-bodied on the palate, it shows a velvety texture, ripe tannins despite the extraction, tight-knit acidity and graphite flavors. Long, lavish finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2027.”
