This 2019 Barolo Bussia Cicala, crafted from Nebbiolo, promises an intense and evolving sensory experience. On the nose, expect primary aromas of ripe red cherry, raspberry, and crushed red currant, swiftly followed by complex secondary and tertiary notes of dried rose petals, violet, licorice, tar, and hints of forest floor or truffle. The palate is full-bodied and powerful, showcasing a remarkable balance between high acidity and firm, yet integrated, tannins. Flavors echo the aromatics, with sour cherry, spice, and mineral undertones, leading to a very long, persistent finish characterized by classic Nebbiolo ‘tar and roses’ notes and a savory complexity.
