Rating: Robert Parker 94/100
"Here the fruit is darker and more intense than in the Colonnello, while the aromas tend towards menthol, pine, spices, and balsamic notes. Smooth, powerful and layered, the 2006 Cicala finishes on a jet of roasted coffee beans, licorice and mint. This is an absolutely wonderful, complete Barolo from Aldo Conterno". (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)
