"He existed in a special place between modernism and tradition. He wasn’t an outright revolutionary like Elio Altare or Domenico Clerico. He was a man of clear ideas and determination, and he was a beacon of light who shined on the path the rest of us would take."
- Enzo Brezza, a Barolo producer and president of Albeisa, an Italian winegrowers association
Aldo Conterno has been described as Piemonte's most talented winemaker, and his wines have frequently been ranked among the finest of the region, often with the emphasis on the balance. British wine publication Decanter rated Poderi Aldo Conterno among Italy's shortlist of Second Growths. The vineyards are now managed using organic methodology.
Though committed to the focus on production of Barolo, Conterno remained among the Piemonte producers who are devoted to producing quality Barbera.
