Poderi Aldo Conterno Barolo Gran Bussia Riserva 2015 750 ML

In the 19th century, the forefathers of Aldo Conterno emigrated to Argentina, but on account of various family vicissitudes they returned to Italy after a few years.
It was then that Giovanni Conterno brought his family back to the small winemaking farm of his father Giuseppe in Monforte d’Alba and started helping him in the production of local wine.
With his return to the business, Conterno increased the production of wine, to be sold in casks not only in Italy but also as far as America, thanks to a relative who had stayed out in Argentina.
In response to market demand, the Conternos then felt the need to create a superior Barolo, to be produced exclusively from the best vintages, with a long vinification period and capable of lasting over time.
In the 1920 the first Barolo reserve was bottled.
At the end of the ’30s Giovanni handed over the reins of the business to his son, Giacomo, who continued his father’s tradition with commitment and foresight, visiting his clients in person and taking advantage of the prestige which his Barolo was gathering to establish his own label in many regions of Italy.
During these years, his sons Giovanni and Aldo began to assist and follow their father in running the business.
