Poderi Aldo Conterno Barolo Romirasco 2012

Rich, opulent and textured, the ’12 Barolo Romirasco unfurls on the palate with a tantalizing mouth-feel. Brooding red and blue fruits waft with grilled herbs, peppery spices, potpourri and licorice in this dense, full-bodied Romirasco bottling. Drinkable soon after release, this wine has the bright acidity and hefty tannins that suggest it’ll age beautifully. Aldo Conterno previously produced the Romirasco Barolo only in vintages without the ideal conditions necessary for the estate’s famed Granbussia, but this Barolo's incredible appeal and structure made it a yearly release. Crafted from fruit grown on vines aged 50 to 55 years old, this wine ages in Slavonian oak casks for thirty months before bottling.
