Aldo Conterno
One of Barolo’s greatest winemakers, Aldo Conterno was respected by both modern and traditionalist Barolo winemakers. The son of Giacomo Conterno, sadly he passed away in 2012. Renowned for his Barolo from the large Bussia designation where he cleverly isolated three of the best parcels (Cicala, Colonnello, Romirasco) to produce stylish and super-classic Barolo with excellent depth and class of fruit.

The floral, cherry, strawberry and iron flavors are shaded by vanilla in this sleek, shimmering red. There's also a flash of black pepper as this builds on the palate to a long, salty aftertaste. Eucalyptus and tobacco round out the profile, backed by a solid structure. Best from 2027 through 2048. 480 cases made, 30 cases imported.Inc. VAT£1,511.09 -

Good deep red. Highly complex aromas of crystallized red berries, black raspberry, dried flowers and pungent spices. Thick, sweet and strong in extract; has a dusty, tactile quality and freakish concentration for the vintage. Smooth and soft despite possessing good acidity. Finishes with round tannins and excellent persistence. This is fairly accessible already.Inc. VAT£914.69 -
