Franco Conterno 2007 Bussia Munie Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- Online Exclusive
This is a delicious wine with spice overtones lavished over mature fruit and wild cherry. The liveliness of the fruit is what sets this wine apart, and ultimately guarantees the wine’s longevity. More bright berry nuances are woven within the natural tightness of the tannins.

Franco Conterno 2004 Bussia Munie Riserva Nebbiolo (Barolo)

This Riserva opens with a garnet color and browning edges, followed by sophisticated aromas of old spice, cola, licorice and tar. The wine treads over the palate in light, delicate steps and leaves loads of menthol and eucalyptus-like intensity. Hold five years or more.

Franco Conterno 2006 Vigna Pugnane Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- Online Exclusive
Here’s a vinous and youthful Barolo that definitely needs five-plus years of bottle aging. The aromas are fresh and piquant, including forest berry, cola, balsam and white truffle. The mouthfeel is satisfying and pleasantly intense with a long tannic fade.

Franco Conterno 2006 Bussia Munie Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- Online Exclusive
Despite its young age, Barolo Bussia Munie already shows signs of age and evolution: the fruit is on the dried or candied side and the oak tones are dusty and well integrated. This wine shows harmony and class, with tight-drying tannins on the close.
— M.L.
