In this respect, the wine is quite typical of the 2017 growing season. It takes a while before the wine finds focus in the glass, but it does slowly come together to reveal broad layers of dark cherry, cassis and plum. There is some tannic tightness that leads to sour berry. A bit awkward at this young stage, it needs a few more years of cellar age to flesh out and reach balance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBy Monica Larner June 2021\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Poderi Aldo Conterno","offers":[{"title":"Bottle","offer_id":55810764046716,"sku":"2057171N-FLASKE","price":71.25,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Case\/6 Btl","offer_id":55810764079484,"sku":"2057171N-KASSE6","price":427.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/1376\/1736\/files\/Barolo_Bussia.png?v=1762101262"},{"product_id":"aldo-conterno-barolo-bussia-2018","title":"Poderi Aldo Conterno Barolo Bussia 2018","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTasted over two days, the pale ruby 2018 Barolo Bussia is rather reserved, with subtle aromas of red berries, mint, and baking spice.

The end result is terrific and the wine is both elegant and powerful down to its inner core. The aromas are fine and sharp, and the mouthfeel is textured and rich. Those of us who have followed the evolution of this innovative estate would probably associate Domenico Clerico with contemporary wines and French barrique.

The vines (planted a quarter century ago) sit at about 400 meters in elevation and water moisture is absorbed by the clay of Serralunga d'Alba. These conditions help to shape the wine's important tannins and elegant structure. Ultimately however, I found the 2017 Barolo Cerretta to be very much identified by its birth year. The wine offers a long interlude of intense brightness with sweet cherry, fragolino and wild rose, which soften any angular or hard edges put forth by the Nebbiolo grape. This 2017 vintage is exceedingly smooth and silky in character with a pliant or yielding quality that should serve it nicely as the wine completes its aging trajectory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy Monica Larner November 2021\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Giacomo Conterno","offers":[{"title":"Bottle","offer_id":55810739437948,"sku":"2089172N-FLASKE","price":500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/1376\/1736\/files\/CERRETTA.png?v=1755444100"},{"product_id":"conterno-giacomo-cerretta-barolo-2018","title":"Giacomo Conterno Cerretta Barolo 2018","description":"\u003cp\u003eTasted from barrel, the Giacomo Conterno 2018 Barolo Cerretta is shaping up to be a beauty.
