2005 Poderi Aldo Conterno, Barolo, Cicala, Bottle (750mL)

"Poderi Aldo Conterno produces some of the most exquisite red wines in the world," says James Suckling.

OK we see you James - and couldn't agree more! The 2005 Cicala is a true gem - perfect for collectors and a delight for wine drinkers alike.

Named after the Italian word for cricket, Cicala comes from 40 - 45 year old vines. The Nebbiolo enjoys a 30-day skin contact staycation before basking in the glory of Slavonian oak casks for 28 months. The result? A wine bursting with bold personality, elegant structure, and irresistible charm.

Prepare for a medley of dark cherry, kirsch, and crushed rose petals on the nose. On the palate, you'll be hit with a rich blend of dark berry fruit and subtle spices, culminating in a velvety finish that feels like pure magic in a glass.

Founded by the late Aldo Conterno and now led by his three sons, this family estate remains a powerhouse in Barolo’s elite ranks. The 2005 Cicala isn’t just a wine; it’s a taste of history, a testament to legacy, and an invitation to savor your best life!
