Barolo Bussia Colonnello – Aldo Conterno (Monforte d’Alba, Piemonte)
Last week, I took out the Barolo Colonnello 2006 from Poderi Aldo Conterno from my wine cellar, a wine that embodies the essence of the prestigious Bussia vineyard in Monforte d'Alba, Piemonte. This Barolo, made from the Nebbiolo grape, presents itself with a rich, clear ruby red color. The bouquet opens with seductive aromas of tar and roses, complemented by notes of ripe blackberries, sweet vanilla, and polished black stone. On the palate, the wine offers a juicy structure with ripe tannins and a lingering finish, showcasing its opulent and enduring character.
