The Story

Poderi Aldo Conterno is a well-regarded and much soughter-after Piedmont producer known for its wines from Monforte d'Alba. Aldo Conterno, who died in 2012, was regarded by many as the greatest of all Barolo winemakers. The vineyard holdings total around 25 hectares (62 acres) and are mostly situated on south-and southwest-facing slopes with chalky-clay soils.

Written Notes

The second of this pair and the younger wine, both terrific vintages. This was my preference though it was close. Ripe and dense. A long sweet core of fruit which is very finely balanced. This is still very much a youthful wine – no surprise there. Juicy tannins. Excellent length. A seriously impressive wine and even though still very young, delicious. 96

The 2008 Barolo Romirasco is striking. It possesses a cool, mineral-drenched personality similar to the Cicala, but with an extra dimension of textural finesse. Sweet red berries, flowers, mint and crushed rocks are woven together in this exquisite, gorgeous Barolo. Powerful and authoritative, the Romirasco impresses for its depth and unmistakable pedigree. Today the 2008 is an infant, but great things are in store for those who can wait.

Barolo Romirasco 2008 Warm dark fruit nose with truffles, tar, sweet dark cherry fruit, almost liqueuresque, bitter almonds, fresh mushrooms, roses and violets. Medium bodied but very concentrated, fruity attack with sweet dark fruit, bramble, balsamic, mint and chocolate notes. Smooth mid-palate with small grainy tannins that carries the concentrated body well into a very long finish with red citrus notes, mint, violets, and salt licorice. Very very good! 2018-2035 94
