Poderi Aldo Conterno Barolo Bussia DOCG Colonnello 2020 is an exceptional red wine from the Barolo region in Piedmont, Italy, crafted entirely from Nebbiolo grapes. This wine presents a light to medium-density ruby garnet color. On the nose, it offers intense aromas of aniseed, cherries, roses, and ripe plums, complemented by elegant mineral notes.


The palate is rich and complex, featuring concentrated tannins and a long finish with hints of cinnamon and smoky fruit. It pairs excellently with red meats, game, or aged cheeses.
