TASTING NOTES

Production

Aldo Conterno’s Barolo Bussia Colonnello hails from the historic Bussia MGA, in the municipality of Monforte d’Alba, one of the most renowned and prestigious areas within the Barolo appellation. It is produced exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes sourced from the Colonnello vineyard, characterised by calcareous-clay soils that impart great structure, depth and elegance to the wine. The grapes are harvested by hand and vinification follows the winery’s classic and rigorous style: fermentation in stainless steel with prolonged maceration on the skins, aimed at extracting complexity and finesse. Ageing takes place for around two years in large Slavonian oak barrels, followed by a further period in the bottle, allowing the wine to achieve full harmony and balance.

Organoleptic Characteristics

Visually, it presents an intense ruby red colour with garnet highlights. On the nose, it is broad and complex, with aromas of ripe cherry, plum and wild berries, accompanied by notes of wilted rose, violet, liquorice, fine spices, tobacco and delicate balsamic nuances. On the palate, it is powerful yet elegant, with dense, well-integrated tannins, vibrant freshness and a deep, consistent flavour profile. The finish is long, persistent and harmonious, displaying great character and longevity.

Occasion and Pairing

A Barolo of great prestige and character, ideal for special occasions and for moments of thoughtful tasting. It pairs magnificently with substantial red meats, braised and roasted dishes, game, hearty traditional Piedmontese dishes and mature cheeses.

Serving Temperature

To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 16–18°C.

THE WINERY

Conterno

Cantina Contini has grown and matured like the wines and successes that have made it great, through the passion and commitment of no less than four generations. Almost 120 years old, the company is located in the Tirso Valley and on the slopes of Mount Arci with about 100 hectares of property. Represented by Vernaccia di Oristano, it has been joined over the years by other important productions such as: the historic Nieddera variety, Vermentino and Cannonau, Karmis, Attilio and the organic Mamaioa. Today, the company continues to evolve through the use of new vinification techniques, identifying the wines as memories and moments of nostalgia. Since around 2010, the Contini company has converted in part to organic farming, with the desire to listen to the needs of consumers who are increasingly attentive to the quality and authenticity of the products. The grapes are cultivated according to the dictates of uncontaminated agriculture, with a very low level of sulphites and the use of natural substances in the vineyards and in the various vinification processes. Name and address of producer/distributor: Azienda Vinicola Contini s.p.a., Via Genova n.48-50, 09072 Cabras, Oristano. Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
