"The 1989 offering from the Bussia Soprano sub-vineyard of Vigna Cicala is a sensational bottle of wine. The earthy, raspberry, black-cherry, and tar aromas of the 1989 Vigna Cicala explode upward from the glass. This is the most massive and structured of the three single vineyard Barolos. The tannin and fruit extraction are both extremely high. This wine requires . . . cellaring . . ." Wine Advocate #92, Apr 1994 |
