The wine
Barolo Colonnello comes from the vineyard of the same name, about one hectare in Bussia, with 35-45-year-old vines up to 400 metres, facing west and south-west in a cooler area. Soils are sandy with clay and magnesium. It ferments in steel and matures for a long time in large Slavonian oak casks. The name recalls a French colonel of the Napoleonic era.
Tasting notes
Blackberry, black cherry, dried herbs, dark flowers and mineral notes of iron and tar. The palate is fine and structured, with tight tannins and juicy fruit; when young it is more floral and open than the house's other crus.
The producer
Aldo Conterno
Poderi Aldo Conterno is an estate in Monforte d'Alba, founded in 1969 by Aldo Conterno and now run by his sons Franco, Stefano and Giacomo, in the Bussia cru. Production is deliberately small and work in vineyard and cellar is done by hand.
Food pairing
Red meats, braised dishes, game, aged cheeses.
Serve at 16–18 °C.
