Score 92/100 · Drink 2026-2033, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jan 2026
The 2021 Barolo Bussia is a gorgeous wine from Aldo Conterno. Deep, layered and super expressive, the Bussia conveys depth and authority from the first taste. Macerated black cherry, incense, gravel, dark spice, leather and menthol reinforce an impression of virile intensity that is impossible to miss. This fleshy, resonant Barolo is impeccably done.

Score 95/100 · James Suckling, Apr 2025
A graceful and elegant nose of vibrant citrus, lemon leaves, licorice, dried cherries, sweet violets, camphor and balsamic. The palate is astonishing for the refinement of the tannins. It’s full in body, with exuberant acidity and a polished texture, finishing with cherry stones and licorice. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.
