Take a glance at any serious private wine collection and you’ll find Aldo Conterno bottles proudly displayed alongside legends like DRC, Mouton-Rothschild, and Harlan Estate. This is blue-chip Barolo—an unimpeachable classic from one of the Langhe’s most storied producers. Poderi Aldo Conterno belongs to a rarefied group of estates that have shaped the very identity of Barolo, and the Romirasco vineyard—perched in the heart of Monforte d’Alba’s famed Bussia cru—is its crown jewel.
Only made in great years, the 2020 vintage marks only the 15th release of Romirasco in the estate’s history, and it arrives with thunderous acclaim: 97 points from Decanter, James Suckling & Wine Spectator, and praise for its brooding aromatics, muscular structure, and soaring aging potential. Deep crimson in the glass with hints of orange at the rim, it unfurls layers of dried cherry, wild strawberry, blood orange peel, rose petals, tobacco, and cedar. This is a wine built for the long haul—one that will reward patience and cellar space with decades of evolution.
Crafted by Aldo’s sons Franco, Stefano, and Giacomo, who seamlessly blend modern precision with traditional soul, this bottling is a torchbearer for the estate’s legacy. Our allocation is extremely limited. If you’re building a cellar of consequence, this is a must-have. Molte Grazie!
