The 2015 Colonnello offers a refined bouquet of raspberry, red plum, licorice, and sweet spice, with hints of oak polish peeking through. On the palate it is fluid yet structured, delivering vibrant red fruit, saline minerality, and fine, persistent tannins that carry a tight, long finish.
Poderi Aldo Conterno, rooted in Monforte d’Alba and stewarded by Aldo’s sons, remains a benchmark in Barolo for marrying tradition with site expression. Their approach emphasizes careful vineyard work, long macerations, and aging in large Slavonian oak to develop structure and nuance. Among their flagship crus—Romirasco, Cicala, and Colonnello—Colonnello is prized for its finesse and elegance, often showing aromatic lift, silky texture, and persistence over power. The estate’s philosophy values balance, tension, and evolving complexity over immediate showiness, ensuring their wines age with dignity and depth.
