Aldo Conterno - Barolo Bussia Colonnello - 2014 | Italian Red Wine

The celebrated Langhe winery Poderi Aldo Conterno presents its Barolo Bussia 'Colonnello', an austere and lordly expression of one of the most important cru in Monforte d'Alba. The Colonnello vineyard represents one of the three crus cultivated by the estate, all located within the Menzione Geografica Aggiuntiva of Bussia in Monforte d'Alba. It seems that the appellation 'Colonnello' derives from a legend according to which a colonel of Napoleon's troops, who had retired from service after years of battles, began making wine in this very land, fascinated by the enchanting landscape.
