The 2020 vintage of Poderi Aldo Conterno’s “Conca Tre Pile” Barbera d’Alba is a bold yet refined expression from the prestigious hills of Bussia Soprana. Deep ruby in colour, it opens with inviting aromas of wild cherry, plum, and violet, layered with notes of clove, mocha, and a touch of vanilla from its oak aging.
On the palate, the wine delivers a lush, concentrated fruit profile, balanced by Barbera’s hallmark acidity that adds vibrancy and structure. Polished tannins and a velvety mouthfeel create a seamless, persistent finish, making this vintage particularly expressive and food-friendly.
This is a Barbera that transcends expectations—rich yet agile, approachable yet cellar-worthy. Enjoy it now with grilled sausages, porcini risotto, or aged Pecorino, or cellar for up to 8–10 years to discover its deeper complexities.
