The 2019 Poderi Aldo Conterno Barolo DOCG Colonnello is a flagship single-vineyard Barolo from the renowned Bussia cru in Monforte d’Alba, crafted from 100% Nebbiolo and known for its elegance, precision and terroir expression. Compared to Romirasco, Colonnello is typically more refined and perfumed, offering a slightly softer and more graceful profile while retaining classic structure. The nose is complex and aromatic, showing notes of cherry, raspberry and rose, layered with hints of anise, spice and subtle earthy minerality.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with fine, polished tannins and vibrant acidity. Flavours of red and dark fruit, mocha, leather and spice are supported by a firm mineral backbone, leading to a long, elegant and structured finish. The style is balanced and refined, combining depth with finesse and excellent aging potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for customers seeking a more elegant and approachable single-vineyard Barolo compared to Romirasco. It offers both immediate charm and long-term potential. Drink from 2026 onwards or cellar for 12–20+ years. Perfect with truffle dishes, braised meats or aged cheeses.
