Franco Conterno – Barolo Bussia – 2019

Barolo “Bussia” finally after 10 years, is back on the market with the vintage 2017. In these years it has been vinified only with the mention Riserva, but with great foresight and thanks to the oldest plants and a good quality of grapes, the Conterno family has decided to re-propose their most historic cru on the market with a regular aging of 4 years.
In my opinion, this is one of the Barolos that best represents the soils and terroir of the Bussia vineyard. Dust, soil, tobacco, dry mouthfeel with a slight softness.

N.B.
An extraordinary and limited edition, this label was produced only for us ” La Vite Turchese” thanks to the faithful collaboration and friendship with the Conterno family. Normally this bottle is produced in reserve version just to enhance and reward the great quality of the 65 years old vines in the Bussia area, giving very long-lived and complex wines. We, on the other hand, deeply love all of Franco Conterno’s wines and are very grateful for this unique collaboration. As for this version of Bussia 2019, there is not much to say except that the wine is superb, we have been waiting for it for months because of its tannic complexity but now the wine perfectly expresses the clay soils without offering edginess. Good now, imagine in a few years….
