Barolo Bussia, Poderi Aldo Conterno 2015

Very fresh and beautiful nose of orange peel and dried strawberries, following through to a medium body, with a tight, tannic palate and a long, flavorful finish. Needs four or five years to soften. Try in 2022.

The 2015 Barolo Bussia is painted in the broadest of brush strokes when compared to the other wines tasted this year, which each hail from their own specific micro cru within the larger Bussia vineyard. This makes sense, because this wine sees fruit sourced from a much wider net. You do get a great sense of the vintage intensity and succulence with pretty layers of sweet fruit, rose, tilled earth and delicate button mushroom. This wine shows its pedigree with confidence. Some 15,000 bottles were made.
