Poderi Aldo Conterno Description
Extremely fascinating on the nose alternating notes of strawberries, red prunes, lavender, hibiscus, karkadè, linden blossom, lime peel and passionfruit. In the background herbaceous hints colour the matrix green. Full bodied, perfectly polymerized tannins and a warm, enveloping finale which shows volume and tension, extending in the best possible manner, leaving a great gustatory persistency.
James Suckling: 98 Points
Bright garnet color and deep, intense nose of watermelon, mint, fresh violets and stony minerality. The palate is full of sucrosity with a full body, lifted acidity and firm velvety tannins of rare grace for a wine with this power. Perfectly integrate oak and a stern finish as expected from a Barolo made for the long haul.
Wine Spectator: 95 Points
A smooth and harmonious red, offering cherry, raspberry, rose, mineral, wild rosemary and oak spice aromas and flavors. Complex and expressive yet well-structured, this cruises to the long, detailed finish. Shows terrific potential.
Vinous: 93 Points
The 2020 Barolo Colonnello is a big, strapping wine. Dark-fleshed fruit, new leather, licorice, herbs, menthol, and torrefaction amplify the wine's natural breadth. The Colonnello offers an intriguing mix of forward fruit and supporting structure. New oak notes are perhaps a bit strong, but that's a relatively small quibble at this level.
