DESCRIPTION OF THE BAROLO BUSSIA CICALA
The Barolo Bussia “Cicala” from Poderi Aldo Conterno is a great expression of Barolo, a classic, ancient and traditional interpretation. It was born in the legendary Cicala vineyard of the Bussia cru and is produced in complete compliance with the most ancient oenological practices of the Langhe: long maceration on the skins to obtain maximum extraction and long refinement only in large barrels.

The Barolo Bussia “Cicala” is a robust, dense, material and grandiose wine. The grapes coming from plants that have reached 50 years of age in the single Cicala vineyard are pressed and left to ferment in steel with the skins for 30 days. After racking, we proceed with several rackings, with the aim of oxygenating the wine and clarifying it naturally. Finally it is placed in large Slavonian oak barrels, where it remains to refine for at least 28 months.
