“Quartetto” Rosso Langhe DOC Aldo Conterno is Stefano Conterno’s playful way of challenging those who cling too tightly to tradition and rules. In 1997, he decided to release Quartetto, a blend of international varieties planted in one of the most famous Barolo crus, Bussia — proving that when you have vision and determination, rules are meant to be broken.
Poderi Aldo Conterno produces some of the finest Barolo wines, with tremendous aging potential. And how could it be otherwise, being the son of the legendary Giacomo Conterno? In 1969, he founded his own winery, driven by a restless spirit and a desire to explore new winemaking approaches that often clashed with the more conservative philosophy of the family's estate. History proved him right, and today the name Aldo Conterno stands proudly alongside his father’s, among the greatest producers of Piemonte.
“Quartetto” Rosso Langhe DOC Aldo Conterno is a blend based on Nebbiolo (40%), complemented by equal parts Pinot Noir, Merlot, and Syrah. Like all the estate’s wines, it comes from estate-grown fruit in the Bussia vineyard of Monforte d’Alba. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, while aging — lasting at least 9 months — occurs in new 225‑liter French oak barrels, chosen for the micro‑oxygenation they provide and the complexity and balance they help develop.
“Quartetto” Rosso Langhe DOC Aldo Conterno is a Langhe with cru‑level quality, ready to enjoy now without losing any of the estate’s signature greatness.
