2020 "Cicala" Barolo Bussia | MG

The 2020 Barolo Cicala is packed with black fruit, espresso, licorice, vanillin, new leather, cloves and tobacco. A huge, dense Barolo, the 2020 possesses notable textural intensity and volume. At the same time, sweet new oak signatures are overpowering, while Cicala character is overwhelmed by the wood. Even so, this is a very good wine, just not one that is true to site.

Dense garnet in the glass. On the nose it’s restrained, with cinnamon, sweet violets, cherry pits and a balsamic whiff. The attack is full, with a dense palate that’s powerful yet velvety. The crisp, refined tannins are long. with deliciously integrated acidity. Great balance and concentration. Best after 2030. (05/2024)
