Langhe Chardonnay doc Bussiador Poderi Aldo Conterno 2014

The Chardonnay Bussiador of Aldo Conterno is produced with grapes coming from different vineyards situated in Bussia, in Monforte d’Alba; it has a good structure and a good body that make it ideal for the aging in bottles. The wine has a straw yellow colour, and it presents some apple’, pineapple’ and citrus fruits’ hints. The taste is harmonic and persistent, due to the area of the Langa. This kind of Favorita must be served fresh, to 9/10° and it is perfect to accompany fish starters, white meats and fresh or 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.
