The agronomic philosophy embraces a deep respect for the environment, excluding the use of herbicides and chemical fertilisers. On the palate, it is fresh and intense, supported by a \u003cstrong\u003ehigh acidity\u003c\/strong\u003e that promises a \u003cstrong\u003every long evolution\u003c\/strong\u003e over time. The flavour profile is precise and well-defined, enriched by clear notes of leather, cherry, anise and delicate hints of oregano.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes destined for this Piedmontese red are grown in the historic Vigna Colonnello, located within the renowned Bussia geographical mention, in the municipality of Monforte d’Alba. The vines have an average age of between forty and forty-five years and are rooted in \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous marl soils\u003c\/strong\u003e interspersed with layers of sand. Frequent replanting takes place in carefully selected plots of land chosen for their \u003cstrong\u003eabundance of clay\u003c\/strong\u003e and calcium carbonate.

The must rests for about thirty days at controlled temperatures. After repeated rackings, the wine is transferred to large \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, where it matures and refines for twenty-eight months. During this period, it consolidates its olfactory architecture, releasing notes of vanilla pod, rose petals, plum and refreshing \u003cstrong\u003ecitrus peel\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn from the historic vineyards of Vigna Colonnello in Monforte d’Alba, the \u003cstrong\u003eBarolo Bussia DOCG\u003c\/strong\u003e by Poderi Aldo Conterno embodies the purest Piedmontese excellence.
