The Barbera d'Alba Conca Tre Pile by Poderi Aldo Conterno is a prestigious Barbera d’Alba wine produced with selected grapes coming from “Conca Tre Pile” region, situated on a hill in the area of Monforte Alba. It presents a wonderful and intense ruby red colour, while it reveals rich and complex perfumes of cherry, blackberry and spices. This wine is elegant, complex and balanced, while its taste is fresh, well-structured and in balance with its acidity. Thanks to these peculiarities, the Barbera d’Alba Conca Tre Pile by Poderi Aldo Conterno is perfect in combination with typical first courses of Piedmont, red meats, salami and seasoned cheeses.

In 1954 Aldo Conterno moved to San Francisco to his relatives, because he wanted to found a cave in the Napa Valley. But his wish did not become a reality, because he took part to the American army and so he worked some years in Korea. After this experience, Aldo returned to Italy, where he finally managed to create an own cave in Monforte d’Alba, in the Langhe territory. Aldo Conterno has been identified as the most excellent wine makers of Piedmont, and his wines distinguish themselves for simplicity and quality. After his death, the winery has passed to his three sons that manage the cave and its vineyards.
