The 2018 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 yet refined expressions. Produced using traditional methods and aged in large Slavonian oak casks, it combines structure, depth and precision. The nose is complex and expressive, offering aromas of dark cherry, cranberry and dried rose, layered with notes of graphite, spice, leather and subtle earthy nuances.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with polished, tightly knit tannins and vibrant acidity. Flavours of red and dark fruit, spice and mineral elements are supported by a firm backbone, leading to a long, powerful and elegant finish. The style is structured yet slightly more approachable than classic vintages, showing both depth and finesse with excellent aging potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a top-tier Barolo for collectors and serious enthusiasts. It offers the power of Romirasco with a slightly more accessible vintage profile. Enjoy with decanting now or cellar for 15–20+ years. Perfect with truffle dishes, braised meats or aged cheeses.
