Barolo Bussia Aldo Conterno 1997 is produced from carefully selected Nebbiolo grapes, sourced from the renowned Bussia vineyard in Monforte d`Alba. The grapes are harvested by hand in mid-October, ensuring optimal ripeness. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel vats, with extended skin contact lasting 20-30 days, allowing for a complete alcoholic fermentation at varying temperatures, peaking at 32 degrees Celsius. The wine undergoes multiple decantations before aging in oak casks. Aldo Conterno is recognised for his commitment to traditional Barolo winemaking practices, dating back to the early 1900s.

Robert Parker
The dense ruby/garnet-colored, tightly-knit 1997 Barolo Bussia Soprana offers notions of earth, cherries, and balsam wood. Full-bodied, with good acidity (particularly for the vintage), moderately high tannin, and a firm finish, it possesses plenty of power. Consume this outstanding effort between 2006-2020. - Robert M. Parker, Jr.
