Good To Know: Highly regarded as one of the greatest Barolo producers in Piedmont, the late Aldo Conterno (who passed away recently in 2012) has produced highly sought after and critically acclaimed wines during his lifetime. Apart from his well decorated career in winemaking, Aldo Conterno is also considered to be a Barolo modernist especially when compared alongside his brother Giovanni who is geared towards the tradional style of the Giacommo Conterno estate.

Aldo Conterno Bussia Colonnello 2017 has a good structure and sharp character, a distinguishing factor in this wine. It has a bouquet that is of dark fruit and plum with a solid framing of iron and dark stony mineral.

Poderi Aldo Conterno was founded in 1969 when Aldo Conterno purchased the Favot estate with along with its prized Bussia holdings. Eight years prior to his purchase, he had managed Giacomo Conterno together with his brother, Giovanni, but left to carve his own path with a more modern approach to his wines.Today, the estate is managed and led by his three sons: Franco, Stefano and Giacomo.
