TASTING NOTES

Production

Conterno’s Barolo Cicala originates from the cru of the same name in the municipality of Monforte d’Alba, one of the most renowned and historic areas of the Barolo appellation. It is produced exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes grown in vineyards with low yields on calcareous-clay soils, which impart great structure, depth and longevity to the wine. The grapes are harvested by hand and vinification follows the winery’s strictest traditions: fermentation in stainless steel with long maceration on the skins, without any forced processes. Ageing takes place for several years in large Slavonian oak barrels, followed by a long period of bottle ageing that completes the wine’s development.

Organoleptic Characteristics

Visually, it presents an intense ruby red colour with garnet highlights. On the nose, it is deep, austere and extremely complex, with aromas of ripe cherry, plum and small red fruits, accompanied by notes of wilted rose, liquorice, fine spices, tobacco, undergrowth and light balsamic and mineral nuances. On the palate, it is powerful and structured, with dense, noble tannins, vibrant freshness and a deep, rigorous flavour profile. The finish is extremely long, persistent and harmonious, displaying extraordinary elegance and the potential to evolve over time.

Occasion and Pairing

An iconic Barolo with great longevity, ideal for special occasions and for moments of mindful tasting. It pairs magnificently with red meats, braised dishes, 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.
