Franco Conterno – Barolo Riserva Bussia – 2017

Bussia is the most significant vineyard for the Conterno family, as it is here that the winery’s roots lie, where their first Barolo labels were born. This vineyard is located in the heart of the municipality of Monforte, famous for its compact soils rich in brown clay, which give the wines earthy notes and dry tannins. The winery, with vines that are around 60 years old, produces Barolo with the Riserva designation, where the wine is aged for 48 months in large oak barrels and 1 year in the bottle. A must in the Conterno Franco wine selection, even in older vintages the wine is always perfect, where notes of undergrowth combine with roundness and pulp. Always a guarantee.
