ALDO CONTERNO 2019 BUSSIA BAROLO

Description

This is a fairly traditional Barolo that comes from a historic winery. This is their “classic Barolo,” but comes from their specific part of Monforte d’Alba: prime plots in the large Bussia vineyard. This already drinks well after a couple hours in the decanter, with a drinkably mid-weight style, an elegant rusticity in flavor and texture, and understated earthy dark fruit tones accented by rich nutty and herbal notes.
WINE SPECTATOR 95 POINTS – “Rich and generous, this red delivers cherry, raspberry, rose and sweet spice aromas and flavors. Harmonious and charming, with bright acidity and beautifully integrated tannins, this firms up on the long, vanilla-tinged finish.”
