Aldo Conterno Barolo Colonnello DOCG 2013

The 2013 Barolo Bussia Colonnello is the most ethereal and delicate of the Bussia series of wines. Fruit is sourced from a portion of the Bussia vineyard that is located closer to the village of Barolo (one kilometre away) than it is from the village of Monforte d'Alba (five kilometres away). The sandy soils found here make for softer and tamer tannins, especially when compared to the other parts of Bussia. The bouquet opens to aromas of blue flowers, spice, wild berries, licorice and white truffle. This is a softly nuanced and finessed Barolo made with fruit from 45-year-old vines.
