Aldo Conterno Romirasco Barolo
| Vintage: | 2017 |
|---|---|
| Description: | This benchmark Barolo is made from one of the prime vineyard plots of the large Bussia area in Monforte d'Alba. Powerful and earthy, with the taming of new oak barrels for aging, Aldo Conterno's wines maintain a tension between the traditional and the modern. James Suckling 98 Points - " Lots of floral aromas, such as lilacs and roses, with crushed raspberries and strawberries. Sandalwood, too. Full-bodied and very powerful with incredible depth of fruit and chewy tannins. It goes on for minutes. Try after 2026.". Wine Spectator 95 Points - "Though well-marked by new oak, there's a vibrant quality to this Barolo, along with cherry, raspberry, iron, tar and tobacco flavors. Supple, almost elegant, with a long, spicy aftertaste, this shows plenty of detail and energy. Best from 2025 through 2040. 480 cases made, 50 cases imported.". The Conterno family has been making wine since the 1700s and Aldo Conterno is regarded as one of the greatest producers of Piedmont. As a young man, Aldo worked with his brother, Giovanni before striking out on his own in 1969. He developed a reputation as an innovator with a focus on quality and attention to detail and passed this dynamism on to his three sons who now run the business. |
