The 2021 Poderi Aldo Conterno Barolo DOCG Romirasco is a flagship single-vineyard Barolo from the renowned Bussia cru in Monforte d’Alba, crafted from 100% Nebbiolo and representing one of the estate’s most powerful and complete expressions. Sourced from old vines (around 50+ years) and aged traditionally in large oak casks, it combines depth, structure and precision. The nose is complex and highly aromatic, showing notes of strawberry, cherry and rose, layered with mint, rosemary, spice and subtle dark chocolate nuances.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with dense, structured tannins and vibrant acidity. Red fruit, spice and mineral elements are delivered with remarkable clarity and depth, leading to a long, powerful and finely balanced finish. The style is both concentrated and “weightless,” combining intensity with elegance and exceptional aging potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a top-tier, collector-grade Barolo and one of the standout wines of the vintage. It offers both power and finesse, making it ideal for serious enthusiasts. Best from 2028 onwards or cellar for 15–25+ years. Perfect with truffle dishes, braised meats or aged cheeses.
