TASTING NOTES

Production

Aldo Conterno’s Barolo Bussia Cicala originates from the historic Bussia MGA (Mezzo-Giro-Appello) in the municipality of Monforte d’Alba, one of the most prestigious and suitable areas within the Barolo appellation. It is produced exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the Cicala vineyard, characterised by mineral-rich calcareous-clay soils that lend the wine structure, elegance and great longevity. The grapes are harvested by hand and vinification follows the winery’s classic, rigorous style: fermentation in stainless steel with prolonged maceration on the skins to extract complexity and finesse. The wine is aged for around two years in large Slavonian oak barrels, followed by a further period in the bottle to complete its development.

Organoleptic Characteristics

Visually, it presents an intense ruby red colour with garnet highlights. On the nose, it is deep and elegant, with aromas of ripe cherry, plum and small red fruits, accompanied by notes of wilted rose, liquorice, fine spices, tobacco and light balsamic and mineral nuances. On the palate, it is structured and harmonious, with dense yet refined tannins, a vibrant freshness and a solid, consistent texture. The finish is long, persistent and of great finesse, with remarkable ageing potential.

Occasion and Pairing

A Barolo of great class and longevity, ideal for special occasions and for moments of mindful tasting. It pairs magnificently with red meats, braised dishes, roasts, game, hearty traditional Piedmontese dishes and mature cheeses.

Serving Temperature

To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 16–18°C.

In the municipality of Monforte d'Alba, in the Piedmont countryside, lies the Conterno Winery. Here, the family of the same name that founded the winery is committed to producing and bottling its Barolo in search of the best balance and perfect quality. The winery's constant work has allowed it to evolve into the great establishment it is today, where the oldest traditions are still carefully followed, alongside the most modern and avant-garde techniques, to offer high-quality Piedmontese wines and unmistakably stylish red wines from Piedmont. Since it was founded, the fame of Conterno wines has spread throughout the area, giving the winery a meteoric rise. The success, however, has not affected the stable foundations of the family, which still works together in its production chain today. Their strengths remain the same: care for tradition, a search for expression of the terroir and a deep respect for what Piedmontese nature has to offer. Name and address of producer/distributor: Conterno - Via Ginestra, 1, 12065 Monforte d'Alba (CN). Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
