Aldo Conterno BUSSIA Barolo 2000

ALDO CONTERNO

Our family represents the heart of all our activities. Five generations of people who devoted their lives to wine have instilled in our souls a deep respect for the identity of our territory and a firm characterization of our products. What we want to offer is simply the interpretation of a terroir through our deep rooted beliefs. Our wines never look for inconditional approval and our personality is not prone to easy compromise.

The “Poderi Aldo Conterno” winery is situated in Bussia of Monforte d’Alba which is the heart of the Barolo wine area.

The estate, which vinifies exclusively its own grapes, consists of 25 hectares of vineyard.

Most of the soil, which is at an altitude of 350 – 400 m. above the sea level, is located South / South – West and is composed of clayey marls and limestone with layers of sand.

The yields per hectare are very low and the total production is about 80.000 bottles a year.

The harvest begins in mid September and done exclusively by hand with a very careful selection of the picked grapes.

Always following a strict family tradition, red wines are neither clarified nor filtered.
