The late Aldo Conterno was a winemaker after the heart of many a Barolo-lover. At once modernist and traditionalist his ethos was driven by substance and classicism rather than fashion or fads.
When many other producers were starting to mature their wines in small oak barriques, upping the percentage of new wood in their wines and chasing the dragon of Parker points, Aldo preferred large, old Slavonian casks, shorter maceration times and earlier pressing. “Vanilla, toast, spice and sweet tannins don’t belong in Barolo,” was his dismissal of the trend of the times.
He turned out to be prophetic and that particular new oak-driven style fizzled quickly. Aldo Conterno’s wines are timeless and elegant; a masterclass in classic Barolo style and in 2015 they are a must have for any collector of top-tier Piemonte.
