Called “some of the most exquisite red wines in the world” by James Suckling, Aldo Conterno’s wines have long stood among Barolo’s elite. The 2005 Cicala combines dark cherry, rose petal, spice, and Nebbiolo structure into a beautifully mature expression that is both approachable today and built on a legacy of traditional Piedmont winemaking.

"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 great value - 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!

Wine Spectator | 95 Points

"Strawberry pie and cream aromas lead to a full-bodied palate. Very thick and powerful, with big, velvety tannins and masses of fruit. A blockbuster style."
