Daniele Conterno Barolo Riserva Bussia 2016
Daniele Conterno and his family put their heart and soul into producing uniquely elegant wines in the heart of Langhe. The center of the production of the world’s most exclusive and age-worthy red wines made from Nebbiolo, the Barolo wine region includes five core townships: La Morra, Monforte d’Alba, Serralunga d’Alba, Castiglione Falletto and the Barolo village itself, as well as a few outlying villages. The landscape of Barolo, characterized by prominent and castle-topped hills, is full of history and romance centered on the Nebbiolo grape.
Its wines, with the signature “tar and roses” aromas, have a deceptively light garnet color but full presence on the palate and plenty of tannins and acidity. In a well-made Barolo wine, one can expect to find complexity and good evolution with notes of, for example, strawberry, cherry, plum, leather, truffle, anise, fresh and dried herbs, tobacco and violets.
Critical Acclaim
93 James Suckling
Attractive, complex nose of grilled oranges, earthy berries, minerals, walnut husks and balsamic. Medium- to full-bodied for a Barolo, with plenty of dusty tannins that elegantly knit with the austere, savory fruit. Drink or hold.
92 Wine Enthusiast
Red-skinned berry, underbrush and leather aromas emerge from the glass. The savory, linear palate offers strawberry, star anise and clove alongside taut, refined tannins and fresh acidity. Drink 2024–2031.
