Aldo Conterno Bussiador
Aldo Conterno's wines are definitely more fruit driven and accessible than the earthier wines of Giacomo Conterno. We have long championed the offerings of Aldo Conterno, not only because he is the King of Barolo, but because he's one of the top wine producers in the world.

Aldo Conterno Chardonnay Bussiador 2005

Although Aldo Conterno is best known for his Barolos, he also produces other interesting, modern wines like this Bussiador Chardonnay. It's a full-bodied 100 percent barrel fermented wine with rich notes of honey, tropical fruit and toasted oak. It's a very modern, expressive wine that's delightful to drink right now but will age well for several years as well.

Poderi Aldo Conterno Barolo Granbussia Riserva 2000

Poderi Aldo Conterno Barolo Granbussia Riserva 2001

The latest vintage that produced the Granbussia. Aromas of ripe fruit, spices and flowers. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and an excellent balance.

HK$1,800.00

Poderi Aldo Conterno Barolo Vigna Romirasco 2004

While Aldo Conterno only produces the Romirasco Barolo in vintages were he doesn't feel the conditions are ideal enough for his famed Granbussia, this Barolo is still one of incredible appeal and structure. This dark colored wine has a traditional nose of flowers, earth, tar and smoke, followed by a medium-bodied palate of smooth, mouth filling tannins and acidity.

HK$1,338.00

Poderi Aldo Conterno Barolo Colonnello 1989

The Colonnello cru is best, perhaps, for those collectors whose patience falls short of infinite, as it is the most reliably approachable of the single-vineyard expressions. A fresh nose of dried flowers and fennel is followed by a juicy palate of ripe red plums, strawberries, and kirsch liqueur. Good structure, bright acidity, and velvety tannins make the Colonnello suave, elegant, and eminently drinkable at any age.
