This is an intensely vibrant wine with a bouquet of violets, roses and herbs, complemented by balsamic notes, liquorice and leather. With an elegant structure, the wine is beautifully balanced with pristine fruit on the palate and excellent length.
Barolo DOCG Romirasco
Producer
Aldo Conterno is one of the historic names of Italian wine. The Conterno family has been making wine in Monforte since at least the 1700s. Aldo’s grandfather, Giovanni Conterno, founded his own winery in 1908 which was then run by his son, Giacomo. After a stint in the USA in the 1950s, Aldo worked with his older brother Giovanni in this winery until he decided to strike out on his own in 1969. Aldo’s three sons now make the wine (Stefano) and run the business (Franco and Giacomo). Over the years, production has been deliberately reduced and the family now produces 80,000 bottles rather than the 200,000 produced in 1998.
Vineyards
The Romirasco vineyard, owned by the Conterno family, sits high on the Bussia Soprana hill. It was planted 55 years ago and faces south/south-west. It is the family’s most important single vineyard. The soils are calcareous clay, rich in calcium carbonate and iron.
Vinification
The grapes were fermented in stainless-steel tanks, at temperatures of up to 32°C for 30 days. The wine remained in tank for a further three to five months before ageing in Slavonian oak casks for 28-30 months.
