Bricco Bussia Vigna Colonnello

1989 Barolo Nebbiolo

Poderi Aldo Conterno Bricco Bussia Vigna Colonnello from the esteemed Barolo region is a remarkable expression of Nebbiolo, showcasing the power and elegance of this noble varietal. The 1989 vintage offers a fully developed profile, presenting a medium-bodied wine that captivates the palate with its pronounced acidity and firm tannins, providing both structure and depth. Its fruit intensity is prominent, revealing rich notes of dark cherry, plum, and hints of fragrant spices, all beautifully interwoven with earthy undertones. This exquisite red is beautifully dry, making it a delightful companion to hearty dishes. Aged to perfection, it demonstrates the potential of Barolo to create wines of extraordinary character and complexity.

Italy

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
