The 2020 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 from old vines and aged in large oak casks, it reflects a balance of traditional structure and modern precision.
The nose is complex and lifted, showing notes of strawberry, cherry and rose, layered with black pepper, spice and subtle herbal nuances. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with dense, structured tannins and vibrant acidity, delivering red fruit, spice and mineral flavours with remarkable clarity and tension. The finish is long, precise and mineral-driven, with lingering echoes of fruit and spice. The style is powerful yet elegant, combining intensity with finesse and exceptional aging potential.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a top-tier Barolo for collectors and serious enthusiasts. The 2020 vintage offers slightly more approachability while still maintaining classic Romirasco structure. Best from 2028 onwards or cellar for 15–25+ years. Perfect with truffle dishes, braised meats or aged cheeses.
