Aldo Conterno is one of the towering names of traditional Barolo, and Vigna Cicala is his great cru, a single parcel within the storied Bussia amphitheater of Monforte d'Alba whose vines yield some of the most structured, brooding Nebbiolo in the Langhe. This is the 1989, a legendary vintage in Piedmont, and it comes in magnum, the format collectors prize for its slow, graceful aging. From a private cellar and now well into maturity, a wine like this trades primary fruit for the haunting tertiary register Barolo lovers chase: dried rose, tar, leather, truffle. Decant it, give it air, and treat it as the special-occasion bottle it is.
