Aldo Conterno is widely regarded as one of the greatest producers of Barolo. This wine is from Colonello, one of the prime sectors of the Bussia hillside. A magnificent expession of Nebbiolo

Aldo Conterno is one of the historic names of Italian wine and widely regarded as one of the greatest producers of Barolo, The Conterno family has been making wine in Monforte d’Alba since at least the 1700s. Situated in the village of Monforte d'Alba, in the heart of Barolo, their 25 hectares of vineyard are situated almost exclusively on the hill of Bussia, one of the most sought after sites in the area. Colonnello is one of Conterno's best vineyards on the hillside.

 

Aged for around 2 years in giant Slovonain oak casks. Ruby garnet in colour with an intensely perfumed nose characteristic of this vineyard. Aromas of aniseed, cherries and roses, with ripe plums giving way to an elegant, fine plummy, mineral character on the palate. Tannins are sweet, concentrated and powerful, with a hint of cinnamon to lift the tightly-packed, smoky fruit. Long and perfumed to the end, with liquorice and rose petal perfumes on the finish.
