Aldo Conterno - Barolo Bussia 2018

Aldo Conterno Description

The "Poderi Aldo Conterno" winery founded in 1969 is situated in Bussia of Monforte d'Alba which is the heart of the Barolo wine area. The winery is run by the three sons of Aldo: Franco, Stefano and Giacomo who followed in the footsteps of their father to carry on the family tradition. 

The estate, which vinifies exclusively its own grapes, consists of 25 hectares of vineyard. Cru vineyards produce bottlings titled "Romirasco" "Cicala" and "Colonnello" located in Bussia vineyard of Monforte d’Alba. The yields per hectare are very low and the total production is about 80,000 bottles a year. Produced exclusively by hand with a very careful selection of the picked grapes always following a strict family tradition.

Their proudest achievement is the Barolo named "GRANBUSSIA" derived from the best of their Bussia vineyards in Monforte d'Alba, aged for over thirty months in oak casks and refined for a further six years. The GRANBUSSIA represents the purest and most virtuous essence of three different historical Bussia cru and it is only produced for those years that are felt as being worthwhile.

The Wine Independent: 94 Points

"The 2018 Aldo Conterno Barolo Bussia is a blend from different Bussia vineyards in Monforte d'Alba. It spent 20-30 days on the skins before being transfered to oak casks to mature. This wine begins to open up after 20 minutes. It is softly sweet, with some gentle red fruits and spice, melded together with gentle oak spice notes here and there. On the palate it is very round, soft, gentle and beautifully harmonious with a fine silky quality to the texture and a perfumed note. This wine has a lovely harmony and balance."-Susan Hulme
