Aldo Conterno’s Granbussia Barolo 1990 is a remarkable wine from one of Barolo’s most esteemed producers. Crafted from a blend of the finest fruit sourced from the estate’s most expressive vineyards – Romirasco, Cicala, and Colonnello – this wine represents the pinnacle of Aldo Conterno’s legacy. Only produced in exceptional vintages, Granbussia is aged for a minimum of nine years before release, ensuring a wine of great depth and complexity.
The 1990 vintage offers a harmonious balance of earthy notes and ripe fruit undertones, with subtle hints of spice and floral nuances. On the palate, it is structured and robust, with pronounced tannins and a long, refined finish, showcasing its potential for further ageing. A true expression of Barolo’s terroir, this is an exceptional wine.

Aldo Conterno’s 1990 Barolo Riserva Granbussia, a wine from the estate’s glory days, more than lives up to its reputation. The Granbussia is darker and noticeably softer than the Monfortino, signs that Aldo Conterno long had a more modernist leaning than his brother, Giovanni Conterno, who made the 1990 at the family’s Giacomo Conterno estate. Both wines are a real pleasure to drink, not just taste. This flight is incredibly instructive, but also hits all the high notes on the pleasure scale. Antonio Galloni1st February 2018
