I am extremely impressed by Aldo Conterno's 2011 Barolo Bussia. The wine exhibits magnificent harmony and integrity, especially considering the warm temperatures of this vintage. It is elegant inside and out with a patina of aromatic cleanliness and sharp focus that sets it apart. The tannins are extremely fine, silky and polished. The wine excels at presenting the fine and elegant details that the mighty Nebbiolo grape can offer. It puts a magnifying glass to the grape and reveals that there are no blemishes to be found.

A severe style, this offers a glimpse of sweet black cherry, raspberry, floral and mineral flavors. Then the ripe tannins come in to shut this down on the finish. The lasting impression is of sweet fruit. Best from 2018 through 2032. 250 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
