Barolo Bussia docg Granbussia Poderi Aldo Conterno 2010 Riserva

The Barolo Granbussia of Poderi Aldo Conterno winery is one of the most prestigious Barolo wines, made with Nebbiolo grapes, cultivated in the oldest and best vineyards of the Bussia cru, in Monforte d'Alba. After aging for more than 30 months in oak barrels and for six years in bottle, it has a nice ruby red color with garnet nuances and complex and fruity aromas, with notes of berries, tobacco and chocolate. Very elegant wine, pleasant and deep in the mouth, the Barolo Granbussia is a wine to be enjoyed in special occasions with succulent meat courses, but also with blue cheeses and well-seasoned cheeses.

In 1954 Aldo Conterno moved to San Francisco to his relatives, because he wanted to found a cave in the Napa Valley. But his wish did not become a reality, because he took part to the American army and so he worked some years in Korea. After this experience, Aldo returned to Italy, where he finally managed to create an own cave in Monforte d’Alba, in the Langhe territory. Aldo Conterno has been identified as the most excellent wine makers of Piedmont, and his wines distinguish themselves for simplicity and quality. After his death, the winery has passed to his three sons that manage the cave and its vineyards.
