Aldo Conterno’s Barolo Colonnello is perhaps the brawniest of the three Crus. Meaty and spicy with strawberry and cherry flavours. This is full-bodied, with firm tannins, solid structure and incredible length. This will definitely benefit from mid-term ageing, or some hours in a decanter if you can’t wait to try it.

• 98 POINTS, JAMES SUCKLING
  Terrific aromas of blackberries, walnuts, spices, bark and mushrooms. Full body, ultra-fine tannins and bright acidity. So beautiful now but be patient. This needs four or five years to come completely together. Wow. What class and precision define this wine. The aromas show such subtle complexity and beauty. Full and tight with a solid core of fruit. Polished tannins to the maximum. Better in 2021.
