PODERI ALDO CONTERNO - Barolo Cicala 2007 6x 75cl Bottles

More open on the nose than 2006 Cicala, with lovely intensity and a hint of violets and liquorice. On the palate, it has great intensity and depth and subtle tannins. Not quite so explosive as many 2007s, but still forward, balanced, long and elegant.
