ALDO CONTERNO BAROLO BUSSIA RED WINE ITALY 2020

94 points James Suckling: “The nose is attractive, with watermelon, leafy lightness, fresh violets and strawberry fruit. The palate is savory and graceful, with a full body, velvety tannins soaked in peach fruit, juicy acidity and a polished aftertaste. A bracing Barolo with at least 10 years of cellaring potential, yet enjoyable now. (9/16/24)”

93 points Wine Spectator: “[$120 list] Starts with cherry and strawberry flavors interwoven with a supple texture. Earth, mineral and hibiscus notes add detail, while solid tannins emerge on the vibrant finish. Showing a mix of elegance and power, this red finishes long. Best from 2027 through 2045. (10/30/24)”
