Tasting Experience
Color: Deep garnet red with brick-tinged edges.
Nose: Aromas of tar, red cherry, dried rose petals, leather, and a touch of forest floor.
Palate: Rich and layered, presenting flavors of dark cherry, licorice, anise, truffle, and sweet herbs, underpinned by polished but firm tannins.
Finish: Long and lingering, revealing notes of roasted coffee, balsamic reduction, baked plum, and slight earthiness that evolves beautifully.
Craftsmanship
Made from Nebbiolo grapes handpicked in the Bussia cru, this wine undergoes meticulous vinification by the Conterno estate. Traditional extended maceration extracts intense structure, while aging in large Slavonian oak casks and fine French oak barrels preserves aromatic purity and balance. The result is a wine that honors Barolo tradition while offering refined complexity and aging potential.
Best Enjoyed
Decant for one to two hours before serving to allow the wine’s aromatics and textures to open fully. Pair it with rich Piedmontese fare such as slow-roasted beef, braised veal, truffle risotto, or mature cheeses like Castelmagno or aged Parmigiano.
