The 2019 Poderi Aldo Conterno Langhe Rosso Quartetto is a refined and harmonious blend from one of Piedmont’s most respected estates, combining four classic varieties—Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto and Cabernet Sauvignon—into a balanced and approachable red. It reflects a modern yet terroir-driven style, showcasing both structure and drinkability. The nose is expressive and layered, offering ripe red cherry, blackberry and plum, complemented by notes of violet, spice, tobacco and a subtle herbal edge. Hints of cedar and earth add depth and complexity.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a smooth, rounded texture and well-integrated tannins. Juicy dark fruit is balanced by fresh acidity and gentle savoury nuances, leading to a polished, persistent finish with touches of spice and minerality. The style is versatile and elegant, offering richness without heaviness and a focus on balance.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent “bridge wine” for customers exploring Piedmont, offering a blend of native and international grapes in a smooth, accessible style. It’s ideal for those who enjoy balanced reds with both fruit and savoury character. Drink now or over the next 4–6 years. Perfect with pasta, grilled meats, charcuterie or casual dining.
