Poderi
Aldo Conterno
Aldo Conterno is known as the “King
of Barolo” in Italy. Poderi Aldo Conterno is situated
in Monforte d'Alba on the prized Bussia Soprano vineyard,
in the heart of the Barolo region. The Conterno family has
been producing and aging the great Piemontese wines for
more than five generations. Aldo left his legendary brother
at his father's cellar (the Giacomo Conterno estate) in
1969 to pursue his own winemaking interests and reputation,
creating the wines of Poderi Aldo Conterno in the "Favot"
cellar. The estate exclusively vinifies its own 25 hectacres
of grapes.
The Conterno brothers parted ways back in the late sixties
to create their own styles of Barolo, Giovanni producing
the more traditional style of the two. However, Aldo's
wines are not considered modern; he still refuses to age
them in small barriques. The wines are more fruit driven
than the earthy wines of the Giacomo Conterno estate across
town in Monforte. Aldo Conterno’s corporate policy
of producing only the highest quality wines while mixing
tradition with innovation falls directly in line with
the aspirations of IWM. We offer only the highest quality
wines to our clients.
