Tasting Note

Rich garnet in colour showing some development at the rim. The wine is rich and perfumed, with hints of liquorice, roses and truffles on the nose. On the palate, it is intense and full-bodied, with a perfect balance of tannin, acid and richness. The wine finishes long, with structure that suggests a long life ahead.

Product Notes

Poderi Aldo Conterno Barolo Granbussia wine represents the pinnacle of Italian viticulture, showcasing a harmonious fusion of power and elegance. Hailing from Piedmont, this deeply flavoured, robust red reveals tantalising notes of ripe red fruits, floral nuances, and a hint of warming spice. The velvety tannins and sharp acidity result in a balanced, long-lasting finish. Its complexity unfolds in layers with age, promising a rewarding cellar potential. This legend reflects Barolo's true finesse and grandeur, making it a sophisticated treat for discerning wine connoisseurs. It pairs beautifully with hearty meat dishes and matured cheeses.

About the Winery

Poderi Aldo Conterno

Located in the heart of the Langhe wine region in the Piedmont area of Northern Italy, Poderi Aldo Conterno is a beacon in the world of winemaking. Celebrated for producing some of the most superb Barolo available, the winery carries a rich legacy built on unwavering quality and an unconventional approach to crafting wine.

Established in 1969 by Aldo Conterno, the son of the renowned winemaker Giacomo Conterno, Poderi Aldo Conterno quickly established a distinct identity drawn from Aldo's unique vision. He was committed to individualising his wines; a contrast with the uniformity that used to be standard practice in the region. As a result, Aldo Conterno wines bear a distinctive, refined quality that represents the best of Piedmont’s terroir.

Sprawled over 25 hectares of vineyards, the heart of Aldo Conterno’s work lies in the famed Bussia Soprana vineyard. Here, the winery transforms Nebbiolo grapes into various, distinctly expressive Barolo wines: notably the 'Romirasco', 'Cicala' and 'Colonnello'. These wines are carefully aged in Slavonian oak barrels, magnifying their complex, beguiling qualities.

Moreover their commitment to quality does not wane with their lesser known wines — the Barbera d'Alba and the Dolcetto d'Alba, are both equally impressive, brimming with layers of flavour and depth alike their Barolo counterparts.

Poderi Aldo Conterno may be prestigious; but it never loses sight of its roots. The winery’s rustic, traditional tasting room is a perfect setting to savour their incredible selection of wines. Visit one day, and be charmed by not just the unforgettable taste of their wines, but the warm hospitality of the Conterno family, as well

The Poderi Aldo Conterno winery is a testament to the art of winemaking, where each bottle is a tribute to tradition and innovation in harmonious balance. A visit to this winery promises an enchanting experience, replete with a decadent taste of Italian viticulture.
