Rating: Robert Parker 94/100
“Here, the fruit is darker and more intense than in the Colonnello, while the aromas lean toward menthol, pine, spices, and balsamic notes. Smooth, powerful, and layered, the 2006 Cicala finishes with a burst of roasted coffee beans, licorice, and mint. This is an absolutely marvelous, well-rounded Barolo from Aldo Conterno.” (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)
