2018 Barolo Bussia

Pleasant dried red berries, pressed flowers and some brazil nut on the nose. Medium-bodied with spicy fruit flavors. The tannins are more in the back seat this year and this gives the mid-palate quite an open-knit mouth-feel. Finishes a little tighter with good fruit and spice. Best after 2023. (2022)

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. (2022)
