Poderi Aldo Conterno Barolo Granbussia 2000

Barolo is a traditional village in Piedmont, northwest Italy. The hills of the surrounding area have long been famous for producing fragrant, tannic red wines which take its name. These are made entirely from the Nebbiolo grape variety.

Include floral notes (rose petal), cherries, plums, violets, graphite, smoke, tar/bitumen, mineral oil, leather. Some producers may use toasty French oak which can accentuate – even compliment – Nebbiolo's tar-like perfume, although the use of anything other than large-format Slavonian oak casks (called "botti") has been a contentious issue.

On the palate, Nebbiolo is medium-bodied but rich, with relatively high alcohol levels. Alongside its trademark color and aroma, Nebbiolo's final, signature element is its high and drying tannin profile, coupled with its high levels of freshening acidity.
