For the 2018 Aldo Conterno Barolo Cicala the roots of the vines dig deep into the iron-rich soil of Cicala producing a hint of earthiness and violets and clear, bright lifted tones of strawberry or raspberry spice and even a spiced tomato juice note to the aromas. It is deeply layered and concentrated, with lots of fine silty tannins and a long, savoriness. This wine has a very long finish. Wait 3 years, drink for 20-25 at least.
