Aldo Conterno Dolcetto Masante (2006) Piemonte



A delicious, luxurious, everyday Italian red wine from Poderi Aldo Conterno, whose Barolos consistently rank as some of the finest wines in the world. Their vineyards, located in the heart of the Langhe, enjoy both the choicest soil and exposure. This, coupled with the skill gleaned from five generations of winemaking that both respect tradition and embrace technology, is a recipe for outstanding wine. While Conterno's Barolos are priced beyond everyday enjoyment, their Dolcetto's (and Barbera's) are wines that exhibit all the breeding and talent given to their more expensive cousins. The 2006 Aldo Conterno Dolcetto Masante is full of fruit on the palette (the wine both vinified and aged in stainless steel) and has a long, smooth finish; a wine that is terrific with food or on its own. Albeisa bottle.
