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.

Cantina Contini has grown and matured like the wines and successes that have made it great, through the passion and commitment of no less than four generations. Almost 120 years old, the company is located in the Tirso Valley and on the slopes of Mount Arci with about 100 hectares of property. Represented by Vernaccia di Oristano, it has been joined over the years by other important productions such as: the historic Nieddera variety, Vermentino and Cannonau, Karmis, Attilio and the organic Mamaioa. Today, the company continues to evolve through the use of new vinification techniques, identifying the wines as memories and moments of nostalgia. Since around 2010, the Contini company has converted in part to organic farming, with the desire to listen to the needs of consumers who are increasingly attentive to the quality and authenticity of the products. The grapes are cultivated according to the dictates of uncontaminated agriculture, with a very low level of sulphites and the use of natural substances in the vineyards and in the various vinification processes. Name and address of producer/distributor: Azienda Vinicola Contini s.p.a., Via Genova n.48-50, 09072 Cabras, Oristano. Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
