Tasting profile
A complex, age-worthy Barolo showing dark berries, black currant, tar, rose petals, violets and licorice, with light oak and spicy notes. Full-bodied with firm, chewy tannins that build in the glass; best decanted, and drinking well now though capable of further aging.
Synthesized from 1,452Vivino reviewers' tasting notes for this bottle.
What reviewers say
“Heerlijke wijn houtrijping, goede tannine structuur waardoor de zwaardere smaak heel goed tot zijn recht komt. Teer, viooltjes en rozengeur, kenmerkend voor barolo”

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Aldo Conterno Barolo Bussia lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · Italy (947 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 1,452.
