The 2020 Poderi Aldo Conterno Barolo DOCG Colonnello is a flagship single-vineyard Barolo from the prestigious Bussia cru in Monforte d’Alba, crafted from 100% Nebbiolo and known for its refined, elegant expression within the estate’s range.The nose is complex and lifted, showing notes of cherry, red berries and violet, layered with hints of mint, spice and pronounced stony minerality.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with vibrant acidity and firm yet polished tannins, delivering a balance of red fruit, savoury herbs and mineral depth. The finish is long, structured and precise, combining power with finesse and excellent aging potential. The style leans more elegant and perfumed compared to Romirasco, while still maintaining classic Barolo structure.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for customers seeking a more refined and terroir-driven Barolo. It offers both immediate appeal and long-term cellaring potential. Best from 2027 onwards or cellar for 15–20+ years. Perfect with truffle dishes, braised meats or aged cheeses.
