2011 Poderi Aldo Conterno Conca Tre Pile Barbera d'Alba, Piedmont

This 2011 Conca Tre Pile is tailor-made for the table. Its vivid acidity and mellowed fruit make it a dream with northern Italian classics—braised beef cheek, mushroom risotto, or a slow-cooked ragù over fresh tajarin. It also shines with grilled lamb chops, aged Parmigiano, or anything involving truffle. The wine’s richness and complexity match beautifully with bold, earthy flavours, while that tangy Barbera lift keeps it lively from first sip to last.

From one of Piedmont’s true icons comes this beautifully matured 2011 Aldo Conterno Conca Tre Pile Barbera d’Alba—serious, structured and deeply expressive. Sourced from old vines in the Bussia cru, this Barbera shows dark cherry, plum and cocoa layered with wild herbs, tobacco and spice. Over a decade in bottle has softened the edges and brought everything into silky, savoury balance. Treated with the same care as Aldo’s legendary Nebbiolo, it’s a Barbera that proves the grape’s full potential.

Pair it with slow-braised meats, mushroom dishes, or anything generously shaved with truffle. Ready to drink now, but still has plenty of life ahead.
