A Noble Piedmont Icon – Aldo Conterno Barolo Bussia Colonnello DOCG 2021
Tasting Experience
The 2021 Barolo Bussia Colonnello reveals a deep garnet-red hue, coupled with an elegant nose of cherries, dried rose petals, truffles, and a whisper of cedar. On the palate, firm tannins deliver structured flavors of black cherry, dried tobacco leaf, licorice, and sweet herbs, followed by a subtle spice and mineral undertone. The finish is long and persistent, marked by refined mocha, balsamic lift, and lingering tarry earth tones.
Craftsmanship
Crafted by the prestigious Conterno family in Monforte d’Alba, Barolo Bussia Colonnello is produced from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the historic Bussia vineyard. The 2021 fruit undergoes extended maceration and malolactic fermentation in large French oak casks, followed by aging in a combination of tonneaux and Slavonian oak to preserve the wine’s powerful structure. The process reflects Aldo Conterno’s classical tradition, emphasizing elegance, balance, and terroir expression.
Best Enjoyed
