Aldo Conterno Barolo Bussia Colonnello 2021

Aldo Conterno Barolo Bussia Colonnello 2021 is a classic, site-driven Barolo that captures the precision and depth for which the Bussia cru is so admired. Made from Nebbiolo in Piedmont’s most prestigious red-wine category, it combines perfume, structure, and refinement in a way that reflects both the character of the vineyard and the legacy of the Conterno family.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a translucent garnet hue with hints of ruby at the rim, signalling both freshness and serious structure. The nose is layered and expressive, with aromas of rose petal, red cherry, wild strawberry, liquorice, dried herbs, spice, and a distinct mineral edge. On the palate, expect a focused and elegant Barolo with firm, finely grained tannins, vivid acidity, and impressive length. The fruit is bright yet concentrated, unfolding into notes of cranberry, sour cherry, anise, tobacco, and earthy complexity. While already compelling, this wine is built for cellaring and should evolve beautifully over many years, gaining nuance, silkiness, and aromatic depth.

Production
Barolo Bussia Colonnello comes from one of the most celebrated parts of the Bussia cru in Monforte d’Alba, where Nebbiolo benefits from well-exposed slopes and soils that help produce wines of power, perfume, and tension. Harvesting is typically done by hand to preserve fruit quality, with careful selection of grapes before vinification. The wine is crafted to emphasize purity and terroir expression, with traditional Barolo sensibility balanced by a modern sense of finesse.

Food & Serving
This Barolo is a natural match for rich, savory dishes such as braised beef, osso buco, truffle risotto, game, wild mushroom pasta, and aged cheeses. Serve it at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for at least 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the aromas and structure to open fully.

Producer
