Aldo Conterno Barolo Colonnello 2012

Red
Barolo, Italy

Harsh tannins dominate from the start, overwhelming any fruit that remains. The oak feels aggressive and unintegrated, masking what should be Colonnello's natural grace. Mid-palate falls flat where this site typically shows its best qualities. A disappointing effort that lacks the vineyard's characteristic refinement.
