About this Item
Poderi Aldo Conterno is a Piedmont producer known for its wines from the best parcels of the Bussia vineyard in Monforte d'Alba. Aldo Conterno, who died in 2012, was regarded by many as the greatest of all Barolo winemakers. The business was founded in 1969 when Aldo bought the Favot estate with its Bussia holdings. For the previous eight years, he had managed Giacomo Conterno with his brother, but left to make wines in a less resolutely traditionalist environment. The estate is now run by his three sons.

Critics Ratings
‘Not quite ready but magnificent. Tight, fine and vibrant with the tannins still in evidence but already a haunting perfume. Absolutely classic and a real treat to taste it.’ - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 18/20 (May 2015)
‘The 1999 Barolo Riserva Granbussia, medium ruby in color, presents classic Barolo nuances of roses, tar, minerals and spices on the nose. It is expansive on the palate, with vibrant layers of ripe fruit, great length and fine, noble tannins. Although it is fairly accessible for the vintage it will be even better in a few years, after which it will provide rewarding drinking for at least another decade. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2021.’ – Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, 94/100 (Oct 2006)
