This benchmark Barolo is made from one of the prime vineyard area around the Cicala hill, in the Bussia Soprana district of Monforte d'Alba. Powerful and earthy, with the taming of new oak barrels for aging, Aldo Conterno's wines maintain a tension between the traditional and the modern.
WINE SPECTATOR 97 POINTS - "Pure and supple in texture, boasting rose, cherry, raspberry, vanilla and toasty oak aromas and flavors, this red is pretty seamless already, with refined tannins that emerge on the finish, needing time to absorb the oak. There's also a saline mineral element that lingers."
