| Over het wijnhuis | Aldo Conterno was één van de twee zoons van ‘Barolokoning’ Giacomo Conterno. Aldo en broer Giovanni zijn allebei in de voetsporen van hun vader getreden, al volgden ze ieder hun eigen weg. Waar Giovanni de meer traditionele ideeën van zijn vader volgde, had Aldo andere ideeën over hoe ultieme Barolo zou moeten smaken, onder meer door zijn tijd in Californië. Al was Aldo zeker geen modernist pur sang. Het wijnhuis heeft drie wijngaarden in de cru Bussia, alle drie op kalkbodems: de wijngaarden Colonnello, Cicala en Romirasco. Het huis ziet de Romirasco-wijngaard als de beste. 70% van de Nebbiolo-druiven in de topcuvée Granbussia Riserva zijn afkomstig van deze wijngaard. Met Granbussia creëerde Aldo Conterno een iconische Barolo en die creatie leeft tegenwoordig voort in het werk van zijn kinderen Giacomo, Stefano en Franco, die het wijnhuis nu runnen. |
| Wijngaard en regio | De druiven komen uit de cru Bussia in de comune Monforte d’Alba in Barolo. De wijngaarden zijn tijdens de jaren '90 aangeplant. De bodems bevatten veel klei. De wijngaarden liggen op zuidoosten. |
| Vinificatie | De druiven vergisten in RVS tanks gedurende 20-30 dagen, met schilcontact. De wijn rijpt daarna 26-27 maanden in eikenhouten vaten van 25 hectoliter. |
| Kleur | Diep granaatrood. |
| Geur | Kersen, rozen, specerijen. |
| Smaak | Intens en gebalanceerd. Goede structuur en lengte. |
| Serveren bij | Lekker bij een paddenstoelenrisotto met truffel. |
| Serveertemperatuur | 15-18 °C |

| Awards | "A graceful and elegant nose of vibrant citrus, lemon leaves, licorice, dried cherries, sweet violets, camphor and balsamic. The palate is astonishing for the refinement of the tannins. It’s full in body, with exuberant acidity and a polished texture, finishing with cherry stones and licorice. Drinkable now, but best from 2026." - James Suckling "With almost 20ha in Bussia, the Aldo Conterno estate has the potential to produce a substantial amount of wine. However, the philosophy has long been to select the best and sell the rest of the grapes. In 2021, Giacomo Conterno said that the only concern was making overly opulent wines. There is a certain richness to the fruit, however it is well tempered by considerable structure. The nose flits between floral perfumes of rose and almond blossom to earthier nuances of wet autumn leaves and tobacco. Upfront tannins coat the mouth with grainy texture, while steely, vibrating acidity injects energy. But the mid-palate is still very shut down and those decisively dry tannins need time." - Decanter "Monforte d’Alba. Lustrous mid ruby. Firm yet still a little subdued with hints of minerally earthy notes. Compact cranberry and raspberry with fantastic crunchy tannins that roll out like a carpet on the finish adding tactile fireworks. (WS)" - 17++/20, Jancis Robinson over de 2020-vintage "Starts with cherry and strawberry flavors interwoven with a supple texture. Earth, mineral and hibiscus notes add detail, while solid tannins emerge on the vibrant finish. Showing a mix of elegance and power, this red finishes long. Best from 2027 through 2045." - 93 punten, Wine Spectator over de 2020-vintage "The 2019 Barolo Bussia is redolent of crushed red berry fruit, cedar, mint, spice, sweet pipe tobacco and orange peel. Firm and sinewy, with veins of insistent supporting tannin, the 2019 is a terrific example of the vintage and this bottling. Impressive. And gorgeous. Give it a few years to soften." - 92 punten, Vinous over de 2019-vintage "The Poderi Aldo Conterno 2017 Barolo Bussia shows a dark but busy quality of fruit that speaks more to the power of this hot vintage than it does the nuanced side of Nebbiolo. In this respect, the wine is quite typical of the 2017 growing season. It takes a while before the wine finds focus in the glass, but it does slowly come together to reveal broad layers of dark cherry, cassis and plum. There is some tannic tightness that leads to sour berry. A bit awkward at this young stage, it needs a few more years of cellar age to flesh out and reach balance." - 92 punten, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate over de 2017-vintage "Rozen, zoethout, kersen, heel open, aards. Prachtig intens, fijne ontwikkeling, krachtig, heel lang." - 17,5/20, Perswijn over de 2018-vintage |
