Poderi Aldo Conterno is synonymous with Bussia, one of the largest and most celebrated vineyard areas in Monforte d'Alba. The estate practices strict traditional winemaking for its Barolo line: long maceration on the skins followed by extended aging in large, neutral Slavonian oak casks (botti), letting site and vintage speak without the mask of new wood.

The classic Barolo "Bussia" is the core benchmark of the estate, blending Nebbiolo from several prime parcels within the Bussia MGA and aging it for 24 to 28 months in botti. The 2022 vintage yielded a rich, beautifully textured Bussia that balances power and elegance, offering red sour cherries, dried cranberries, orange peel, leather, tar, and crushed limestone, framed by firm, classic Nebbiolo tannins and vibrant natural acidity.
