Poderi Aldo Conterno's "Romirasco" is the flagship of the estate's single-vineyard Barolos, grown at the highest point of the family's Bussia holdings in Monforte d'Alba on ancient limestone marl, iron-rich clay, and chalk. Hailed as a benchmark vintage across the Langhe, 2021 provided ideal conditions: cool nights, warm days, and an extended ripening season. The 2021 "Romirasco" is a study in tension, structural precision, and aromatic purity, and stands among the standout wines of the entire vintage.
Aged for nearly 30 months in large Slavonian oak botti, the 2021 release is chiseled and profound. It displays pure wild strawberries, sour cherry, blood orange peel, pipe tobacco, violets, and struck flint, backed by a firm, laser-focused tannic backbone that will allow it to cellar gracefully for half a century.
