Barolo Romirasco 2010 is the single-vineyard flagship Barolo of Aldo Conterno, sourced from 50-year-old vines in a 3.8-hectare monopole in Bussia. The 2010 vintage is widely considered one of the top five wines of the decade, showcasing a stunning balance of blackcurrant, tar and balsamic herbs. Following a 30-day maceration and ageing in large Slavonian oak, the wine possesses a firm yet supple structure, with tannins that are both unyielding and silky. Its energetic finish features notes of chocolate, hazelnut and minerals, reflecting the superior performance of the Romirasco cru in a great year.

The 2010 Barolo Romirasco stands out for its pure texture and balance. Today the 2010 is a bit compact, but that is not at all surprising given its underlying structure and very recent bottling. Those two factors considered, the 2010 Romirasco is a wine with tremendous future. The style is a little more sensual and less severe than the Cicala, with generally softer contours, all which should give it a slight upper hand in terms of accessibility.Antonio Galloni1st January 2014
