On the nose, it reveals a deep olfactory profile, characterised by notes of leather, vanilla pod, rose petals, plum and citrus. On the palate, it is taut and fresh, supported by a \u003cstrong\u003ehigh acidity\u003c\/strong\u003e that enhances aromas of cherry, anise and subtle hints of oregano. Naturally predisposed to \u003cstrong\u003elong ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e, this wine requires time to fully express its extraordinary organoleptic potential. Its refined complexity makes it the ideal pairing for intense meat dishes, \u003cstrong\u003egame and mature cow’s milk cheeses\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates from the historic Bussia area, in the municipality of \u003cstrong\u003eMonforte d’Alba\u003c\/strong\u003e, a prime area for the production of \u003cstrong\u003eBarolo\u003c\/strong\u003e in Piedmont. The vineyards are located on hillsides at around four hundred metres above sea level, on soil composed of \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous marl\u003c\/strong\u003e alternating with layers of sand. This particular soil configuration ensures the wine has gustatory tension and a precise aromatic definition. The \u003cstrong\u003eAldo Conterno\u003c\/strong\u003e winery manages these lands directly, continuing a winemaking history that began in the 1920s in a region whose connection with oenology is ancient and profound, dating back to the time of Italian unification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins in mid-October with a rigorous \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e and selection of the best bunches in the vineyard. Vinification involves fermentation with skin maceration in steel tanks at a controlled temperature for about thirty days. The wine is also subjected to repeated rackings. After an initial period in steel, the wine matures in large \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for over two years. This long ageing process allows the tannins to soften and defines a \u003cstrong\u003esolid structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, encouraging an elegant sensory evolution over time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn on the historic hills of \u003cstrong\u003eMonforte d’Alba\u003c\/strong\u003e, Aldo Conterno’s Barolo Bussia embodies a winemaking vocation that began in 1920. This noble \u003cstrong\u003eBarolo DOCG\u003c\/strong\u003e has its roots in the history of the Unification of Italy in 1861, when Cavour chose it as the official wine. The Nebbiolo grapes, grown at an altitude of 400 metres on sandy and calcareous soils, ensure an impeccable structure. Carefully aged in \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, the wine releases intense aromas of rose petals and leather, celebrating authentic Piedmontese craftsmanship in every glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Conterno Aldo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45681011753131,"sku":"58428","price":98.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/aldo-conterno-barolo-bussia-2021_58428_1_f8a66193-d8e4-410c-a2ad-6727d18fa156.webp?v=1773785753","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-fi\/products\/aldo-conterno-barolo-bussia-2021","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
