Aldo Conterno Barolo Bussia 2018

De druiven komen uit de cru Bussia in de comune Monforte d’Alba in Barolo. De wijngaarden zijn tijdens de jaren '90 aangeplant. De bodems bevatten veel klei. De wijngaarden liggen op zuidoosten.

De druiven vergisten in RVS tanks gedurende 20-30 dagen, met schilcontact. De wijn rijpt daarna 26-27 maanden in eikenhouten vaten van 25 hectoliter.

"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." - 93/100 James Suckling

"A ripe style, this reveals macerated plum, cherry, spice, hay, tobacco and mineral flavors. This has an elegant feel, despite the dense, refined tannins, with a lasting mouthwatering impression. Best from 2025 through 2042." - 93/100 Wine Spectator
