Poderi Aldo Conterno Barolo Vigna Romirasco 2004
Varietal: Nebbiolo
Region: Piemonte
This esteemed cru became the primary constituent of Granbussia (70 percent) beginning with the 1982 vintage. The change was a significant one, as Romirasco is essentially a theoretical blend of Cicala and Colonnello, combining the distinctive soil types that constitute the hallmark of each site. In 2004, the estate vinified a cru expression of Romirasco, as hail precluded the production of Granbussia. This debut effort so impressed the estate that it has decided to reduce the production of Granbussia in order to make Romirasco a regular portfolio member.
About the Producer
Aldo Conterno is known as the “King of Barolo” in Italy. Poderi Aldo Conterno is situated in Monforte d'Alba on the prized Bussia Soprano vineyard, in the heart of the Barolo region. The Conterno family has been producing and aging the great Piemontese wines for more than five generations. Aldo left his legendary brother at his father's cellar (the Giacomo Conterno estate) in 1969 to pursue his own winemaking interests and reputation, creating the wines of Poderi Aldo Conterno in the "Favot" cellar. The estate exclusively vinifies its own 25 hectacres of grapes.
The Conterno brothers parted ways back in the late sixties to create their own styles of Barolo, Giovanni producing the more traditional style of the two. However, Aldo's wines are not considered modern; he still refuses to age them in small barriques. The wines are more fruit driven than the earthy wines of the Giacomo Conterno estate across town in Monforte. Aldo Conterno’s corporate policy of producing only the highest quality wines while mixing tradition with innovation falls directly in line with the aspirations of IWM. We offer only the highest quality wines to our clients. |
