Winemaker's Tasting Notes: Grenade red color, complex floral notes on the nose, enhanced with traditional new wood. Rich, sweet and powerful flavor. 

About the Wine: This Barolo is from the most prestigious cru- Bussia- located in the comune of Monforte d'Alba, where the terrain is very steep, malleable and rich in clay. 

About the Winery: Daniele Conterno  represents the fourth generation of producers. Starting with Great Grandfather Pietro Conterno and 18 hectares of land. The land passed to his legendary Grandfather Giacomo. Then to his father Franco who he still works with everyday. Daniele grew up in the vineyards with his brother Andre. So far, he tries to express what his wines mean for him in every bottle. For Daniele wine is a natural product that reflects what is in the earth what is in his land, and what is in the history of his family. Many people ask: "are you a traditionalist or a modernist." Daniele answers: "I really love the traditional way of producing wines, but I am always keeping an eye on what is new, and experimenting to push the level of what is possible while respecting my father and grandfather's wishes. In 2005 his father Franco made the decision to become certified organic.
