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.
