Tasting notes
So, this is the Barolo Colonello from Aldo Conterno, a pure Nebbiolo from Italy's Piedmont region. Known for its balance of power and elegance, this wine is a standout in the Barolo lineup—definitely one you should try.
In volume 18, there's a scene where Hayashi, who runs the Chinese restaurant chain Otowarou, asks Honma about the meaning of this wine's name. You can imagine how Barolo pairs with the rich flavors of Chinese cuisine. The name itself seems to unlock a deeper appreciation of its taste.
When you pour it into a glass, you'll see a deep garnet hue that's just stunning. The aroma is open and complex, with dried fig and plum taking the lead, accompanied by a delicate rose scent. Upon tasting, the wine reveals a rich fruitiness that transitions into lively acidity.
The tannins are dense and the finish is wonderfully long. This wine is both elegant and robust, and decanting it before serving could really enhance your experience.
