WINE DESCRIPTION

Aldo Conterno Barolo Bussia Romirasco is a world-class red wine that showcases the excellence of Barolo, Italy. Produced by the esteemed winery Aldo Conterno, known for their meticulous craftsmanship, this wine hails from the Romirasco vineyard in the renowned Barolo cru Bussia, in Monforte d'Alba. The vineyard features steep slopes and clayey soils, which lend complexity to the wine. The wine is aged in big Slavonian oak barrels for 30 months. The result is a wine of exceptional quality, with intense aromas of red berries, roses, spices, and a hint of tar. The wine is full-bodied, with firm tannins and a long, elegant finish, epitomizing the classic style of Barolo. Aldo Conterno Barolo Bussia Romirasco is a true gem that embodies the essence of Piedmont's winemaking heritage.
