Poderi Aldo Conterno - Barolo Colonnello 2006 75cl Bottle

Product Description

Deep garnet in colour, with tremendous intensity on the nose. Colonnello is always very perfumed & floral on the nose because of the sandy soils in which the vines grow. Blackberry & woodland fruit characters on the palate are balanced by rounded, ripe tannins & powerful structure. The Colonnello vineyard is one of Conterno's best vineyards. It is situated on Bussia Soprana in Monforte d' Alba & is one of the much sought after sites in the area. Maceration on the skins lasted 24 days & was followed by temperature controlled fermentation in stainless steel tank with maximum temperatures of 32°C. The wine remained in stainless steel for a further 4-5 months after which it was transferred to 25hl Slovenian oak barrels where it remained for about 26-28 months before bottling. * Limitied Stock*
