Barolo D.O.C.G. Bussia "Colonnello" - Poderi Aldo Conterno
The Conterno winery was established in the 19th century when Giovanni Conterno brought his family back to the small wine making farm of his father Giuseppe in Monforte d'Alba and started helping him in the production of local wine. From then on Poderi Conterno increased the production of wine, to be sold in casks not only in Italy but also as far as America. In response to market demand, the Conternos then felt the need to create a superior Barolo, to be produced exclusively from the best vintages, with a long vinification period and capable of lasting over time. In the 1920 the first Barolo reserve was bottled. In 1961 Giuseppes two grandchildren Giovanni and Aldo Conterno took over the winery. However, in 1969 Aldo decided to start his own winery and thus Poderi Aldo Conterno was started and the production contunied based on the traditions from the first Conterno winery.
