A Legacy of Barolo Greatness: Aldo Conterno
Today at Flickinger Wines we would like to showcase our
current collection of wines from the great Italian winemaker of Barolo from
Italy – Aldo Conterno. Available in-stock or on pre-order.
For collectors of Piedmont’s most noble reds, few names
resonate with the same authority as Aldo Conterno. Known as the “King of
Barolo,” Aldo forged a reputation for crafting wines that unite traditional
depth with a modern elegance, producing bottles that are as age-worthy as they
are captivating in youth. Today, his sons continue that legacy at Poderi Aldo
Conterno, carrying forward one of Italy’s greatest winemaking traditions.
The estate’s Barolos are benchmarks of Serralunga
d’Alba—wines of structure, perfume, and remarkable longevity. From the majestic
Granbussia Riserva, produced only in the finest vintages, to single-vineyard
crus like Cicala, Colonnello, and Romirasco, these are wines that demand
attention in any serious cellar. They showcase the purest expression of
Nebbiolo: vibrant red fruit, floral lift, and layers of earthy complexity that
unfold over decades.
What sets Aldo Conterno apart is precision. The wines
balance Barolo’s classical power with polished tannins and finesse, offering an
extraordinary combination of approachability and long-term investment
potential. This makes them both thrilling to drink and indispensable for
collectors seeking Italy’s most collectible bottles.
The following are the wines remaining from the offer sent on Wednesday, September 17, 2025. Please enter your desired quantities and click the 'Add' button.

JS 96 (1/2019): Gorgeous aromas of dark berries, cedar and very ripe fruit that follow through to a full body, deep and dense tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Plush. Drink from 2022.
WA 93 (6/2019): The 2015 Barolo Bussia is painted in the broadest of brush strokes when compared to the other wines tasted this year, which each hail from their own specific micro cru within the larger Bussia vineyard. This makes sense, because this wine sees fruit sourced from a much wider net. You do get a great sense of the vintage intensity and succulence with pretty layers of sweet fruit, rose, tilled earth and delicate button mushroom. This wine shows its pedigree with confidence. Some 15,000 bottles were made. |

JS 97 (3/2016): Very earthy and intense with ripe fruit and hints of bark and mushrooms. Full body, powerful and chewy. Great tannin structure. Better in 2020.
WA 93 (6/2016): Poderi Aldo Conterno's Bussia Romirasco sees a few extra months of oak aging. The 2012 Barolo Bussia Romirasco greatly benefits from that extra wood. Because the fruit in 2012 is less expressive overall, the Romirasco signature touch bodes well for its texture, heft and its aromatic delivery. This Barolo offers pretty richness and density with thick lines and deep concentration. The oak needs more years to integrate, but I feel confident that it will reach harmony, with time, given the wine's generous structure and fruity richness.
VM 89 (11/2016): The 2012 Barolo Romirasco is the best of these wines. Dark cherry, mocha, chocolate, smoke and plum notes give the 2012 its distinctly deep, powerful personality. From Romirasco I expect to see intense, balsamic-inflected aromatics and salivating energy. There is little, if any, of that here. The 2012 is a solid wine if taken on its own terms, but it is an underachiever relative to both the potential of this site and vintage. Antonio Galloni. |
