Barolo Bussia "Cicala" 2017 75 cl Aldo Conterno

The Barolo Cicala dei Poderi Aldo Conterno is an intense and full-bodied wine, with a strong evolutionary potential. A red made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes in the Michet and Lampia varieties from the Cicala vineyard in Bussia in the municipality of Monforte d'Alba.

The name "Cicala" derives from the name of the vine, with an average age of the plants of 40-45 years.

The harvest of the Barolo Cicala is carried out manually in mid-October, with the selection of the grapes within the vineyard. After the grapes have been transferred to the cellar, the vinification begins with maceration on the skins in stainless steel tanks, where the must remains for 30 days, during which it completely carries out the alcoholic fermentation.

The new wine is decanted several times before being placed in oak barrels where it ends its refinement.
