The celebrated Langhe winery Poderi Aldo Conterno presents its Barolo Bussia 'Colonnello', an austere and lordly expression of one of the most important cru in Monforte d'Alba. The Colonnello vineyard represents one of the three crus cultivated by the estate, all located within the Menzione Geografica Aggiuntiva of Bussia in Monforte d'Alba. It seems that the appellation 'Colonnello' derives from a legend according to which a colonel of Napoleon's troops, who had retired from service after years of battles, began making wine in this very land, fascinated by the enchanting landscape.

TASTING NOTES | Poderi Aldo Conterno Barolo Bussia 'Colonnello' expresses a luminous garnet red colour. The olfactory panorama is complex, varied and elegant, described by scents of red fruits, plum, powder, balsamic herbs and liquorice, supported by hints of iron minerals and deep notes of leather and tobacco. The sip, warm and robust, reveals juicy freshness and intense tannic texture, with an irresistibly persistent, spicy finish. |
