The 2020 Poderi Aldo Conterno Barolo Bussia DOCG is a classic expression of Nebbiolo from the prestigious Bussia cru in Monforte d’Alba, offering a refined balance of power, elegance and terroir. Crafted using traditional methods, it reflects the house style—structured yet polished, with depth and precision. The nose is complex and expressive, showing notes of cherry, strawberry and blackcurrant, layered with rose petal, spice, licorice and subtle earthy nuances.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with silky yet firm tannins and vibrant acidity. Flavours of red and dark fruit, mineral and savoury elements are delivered with clarity and balance, leading to a long, structured and elegant finish. The 2020 vintage is notably approachable yet retains the structure for long-term aging.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a benchmark Barolo and a great entry into Aldo Conterno’s single-cru wines. It offers classic structure with slightly more approachability in the 2020 vintage. Enjoy with decanting now or cellar for 10–15+ years. Perfect with truffle dishes, braised meats or aged
