In 1969, Aldo Conterno broke away from the family business to establish his own winery in Bussia, Monforte d’Alba. Aldo’s three sons Stefano, Franco and Giacomo now run the winery and continue to produce some of the region’s finest wines from their 25-hectares of prime vineyards. Romirasco is one of three single cru wines crafted here, sourced from vines averaging 55 years in age. The 2004 vintage presents an enticing bouquet of sweet red berries, notes of tar, and delicate, fragrant roses. On the palate, the wine reveals its soft and supple character, marked by elegance and a lingering presence. A harmonious blend of red, black, and blue fruits harmonizes with fine, velvety tannins, making it approachable yet promising for further ageing.

Imposing and dark on the palate, the 2004 Barolo Romirasco possesses massive fruit, beguiling aromatics and considerable depth. Today, the 2004 is a bit in an awkward stage, where tertiary aromatics have not yet developed although much of the wine's youthful exuberance has begun to fade. As such, the 2004 is best cellared for at least another few years. Although some time has passed, I did expect the 2004 Romirasco to be a touch fresher than this. I purchased this bottle following the liquidation of a large amount of Aldo Conterno stock in the US a few years ago.Antonio Galloni1st May 2015
