Conterno/Aldo Barolo Bussia 2016

Bastianich & Lynch (Vino Italiano Buying Guide): “Aldo Conterno is the son of Giacomo Conterno and the brother of Giovanni Conterno, the late proprietor of the Giacomo Conterno estate. Aldo’s winery sits on the Bussia Soprana vineyard in Monforte (source of the ‘base’ Barolo), and he makes intense, sought-after single-vineyard wines from Vigna Colonnello, Bricco Cicala, and Romirasco–all of which flank the Bussia site…These are some of the most powerfully structured, long-lived Barolos there are; you really don’t want to drink them young.”
