About the Producer:
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.
