94pts James Suckling

The nose is attractive, with watermelon, leafy lightness, fresh violets and strawberry fruit. The palate is savory and graceful, with a full body, velvety tannins soaked in peach fruit, juicy acidity and a polished aftertaste. A bracing Barolo with at least 10 years of cellaring potential, yet enjoyable now.

Poderi Aldo Conterno Barolo Bussia 2020 is a red wine from the prestigious Barolo region in Piedmont, Italy, crafted exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes. The wine displays a vibrant ruby red color with transparent hues, reflecting its elegance and youth.

On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet of aromas, including rich notes of ripe cherries, roses, leather, and subtle hints of vanilla and earthy spices. These are complemented by delicate touches of plum and citrus peel, adding layers of complexity to the aromatic profile.

The palate is fresh and tightly structured, with firm tannins and high acidity. The taste is beautifully balanced, with well-defined flavors of leather, cherry peel, aniseed, and a touch of oregano. The finish is long, refined, and savory, highlighting the wine’s potential for aging.

Ideal for pairing with hearty dishes such as braised meats, truffles, and aged cheeses, this Barolo offers a beautiful expression of the region and promises to evolve gracefully over the next 15-25 years. Decant for an hour before serving to fully experience its depth and complexity.
