The 2022 Poderi Aldo Conterno Bussiador Langhe Chardonnay DOC is a premium Italian Chardonnay from Piedmont, crafted in a rich, Burgundy-inspired style that combines power with precision. Sourced from vineyards in Bussia and fermented in French oak, it reflects the estate’s modern expression alongside its traditional Barolo heritage. The nose is expressive and layered, showing notes of ripe peach, pineapple and citrus, alongside hints of vanilla, butter, toasted almond and subtle spice from oak aging.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a creamy, textured mouthfeel balanced by vibrant acidity. Flavours of tropical fruit, lemon tart and pastry notes are supported by a mineral backbone, leading to a long, polished and persistent finish. The style is rich yet refined, combining depth, freshness and excellent aging potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout for customers who enjoy premium, oak-influenced Chardonnay with both richness and structure. It’s a great alternative to top Burgundy whites with a distinctive Piedmont character. Drink now with aeration or cellar for 8–10+ years. Perfect with lobster, creamy seafood, roasted chicken or rich pasta dishes.
