Description

Aldo Conterno 'Colonnello' Barolo 2017Offering plum, cherry, iron, eucalyptus and black pepper aromas and flavours, this broad red has absorbed the oak treatment pretty well already, with a dense matrix of tannins and lively acidity. Balanced and long, ending with elements of mineral and spice. Best from 2025 through 2043. 94 Points. Bruce Sanderson, The Wine Spectator.

Having followed this wine for four decades

giving an excitingly complex wine full of fresh herbs

which are among the best qualities of this vintage

“Pale golden yellow

no corners – a cliff face of a wine

this is Ratti's best-known wine and also its biggest production with 70

this wine also excels at showing pinpoint details of wild cherry

a bit like biting into a perfectly ripe granny smith apple

tar and pencil shaving

warm cloves

so much flesh to tannin

It's a blend of three vintages
