The 2015 Poderi Aldo Conterno “Granbussia Riserva” Barolo DOCG is a flagship wine and one of the greatest expressions of traditional Barolo, produced only in exceptional vintages from a meticulous selection of fruit across the estate’s top crus in Bussia. Crafted with extended aging and uncompromising attention to detail, it represents the pinnacle of the estate’s philosophy—power, elegance and longevity. The nose is deep, complex and slowly evolving, revealing layers of dried rose, red cherry, plum and orange peel, intertwined with notes of tar, leather, tobacco, truffle and sweet spice. Subtle balsamic and earthy nuances add further depth and sophistication.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with Nebbiolo’s hallmark firm tannins and vibrant acidity framing a core of concentrated red fruit, savoury complexity and mineral tension. Despite its power, the wine remains balanced and precise, with a long, persistent finish marked by spice, florals and earthy undertones. The style is classic and age-worthy, built for long-term cellaring while already showing remarkable depth.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a collector’s Barolo and a true icon for serious enthusiasts. It’s ideal for customers seeking a world-class, cellar-worthy Nebbiolo with depth and pedigree. While approachable with decanting, it will reward patience over the next 15–25+ years. Perfect for special occasions, best paired with truffle dishes, braised meats, game or aged cheeses.
