At once sensual and deeply classical, Poderi Aldo Conterno Barolo Granbussia Riserva 2015 layers dark cherry, plum and pomegranate fruit with dried flowers, forest tones and polished oak spice, all carried by vivid acidity and finely woven yet powerful tannins. It feels already harmonious and luxurious in texture, but the structure and intensity promise even greater nuance with more time in bottle.

Barolo Granbussia Riserva is Aldo Conterno’s flagship Barolo, a rare cuvée drawn from the oldest vines in the Romirasco, Cicala and Colonnello parcels of the Bussia cru in Monforte d’Alba and produced only in top vintages. Long macerations, more than 30 months in large oak followed by extended bottle aging—around a decade in total—yield a deeply complex, powerful yet silken Nebbiolo that marries Bussia’s limy marl austerity with haunting notes of dried flowers, dark berries, tobacco, truffle and spice.
