1964 Barolo Nebbiolo

The Poderi Aldo Conterno Riserva is a captivating expression of Nebbiolo from the renowned Barolo region, crafted in the remarkable vintage of 1964. This red wine showcases a deep garnet hue, hinting at its maturity and complexity. On the nose, aromas of dried rose petal, cherry compote, and earthy truffle intertwine with notes of leather and spice, offering a multi-layered bouquet. The palate presents a beautifully structured profile with a medium body, complemented by bright acidity that enlivens the flavors and a firm tannin structure that enhances its longevity. As you savor each sip, the wine reveals an elegant fruit intensity, with dark fruit flavors harmonizing seamlessly with tertiary characteristics developed through years of careful aging. The Poderi Aldo Conterno Riserva finishes with a pleasingly dry touch, inviting you to relish the intricate nuances of this iconic wine.

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
