Poderi Aldo Conterno Romirasco Bussia Barolo 2004 stands as a sovereign expression of classic Barolo craftsmanship, commanding presence and poised elegance that define the pinnacle of Piedmontese winemaking. Sourced from a premium private cellar, this distinguished vintage is a masterclass in tradition and restraint, offering a wine built to rule the cellar with unmatched authority.

Distinguished by its extended maturation of 30 months in large Slavonian oak casks, this Barolo avoids the modern barrique influence, delivering pure, unadulterated Nebbiolo character with zero interventionist gloss. This aging technique preserves the wine’s natural structure and complexity, allowing the rich aromas and flavors of the Bussia vineyard terroir to shine through with clarity and depth.

The 2004 vintage is renowned in the Barolo region for its balanced climate, producing grapes with perfect ripeness and vibrant acidity that translate into wines of remarkable longevity and finesse. Romirasco Bussia captures this vintage’s essence through a noble bouquet of dried roses, tar, licorice, and red fruit, evolving gracefully in the glass.

On the palate, expect a commanding yet refined wine, showcasing firm tannins, bright acidity, and a lingering finish that reflects the wine’s regal stature and artisanal pedigree. It is a wine that matures beautifully over time, rewarding patience with layers of complexity and sophistication.

This revered Barolo exemplifies the hallmark qualities of the Piedmont region, known worldwide for producing some of Italy’s most elegant and age-worthy Nebbiolo wines. Poderi Aldo Conterno’s Romirasco Bussia 2004 is a true collector’s gem, perfect for cellar investment and special occasions where heritage and authenticity are paramount.

There is no need to taste the 2004 Barolo Romirasco, the nose alone is enough to understand that this is magnificent wine. Aromas of tar, roses, menthol, scorched earth and smoke lead to a core of dark red fruit than unfolds onto the palate with uncommon grace and elegance. As it sits in the glass the wine gradually puts on weight, filling out its considerably structured frame with notable class. The last Romirasco was made in 1993. This bottling has typically only been made in vintages where quality is not sufficient for the family to make their top of the line Riserva Granbussia, as was the case in 2004, when the Cicala vineyard was damaged by hail. Conterno told me is so happy with this wine he will probably bottle a small quantity going forward to see how it develops. It will be fascinating to taste future Romirascos next to the Granbussias of the same vintage to evaluate how a single-vineyard wine from what many consider to be one of Bussiaâ€™s greatest vineyards compares to the Granbussia blend. Conterno expects to price the Romirasco at the same level or slightly more than the Colonnello. If that turns out to be the case, this will be a superb relative value as well.

Imposing and dark on the palate, the 2004 Barolo Romirasco possesses massive fruit, beguiling aromatics and considerable depth. Today, the 2004 is a bit in an awkward stage, where tertiary aromatics have not yet developed although much of the wine's youthful exuberance has begun to fade. As such, the 2004 is best cellared for at least another few years. Although some time has passed, I did expect the 2004 Romirasco to be a touch fresher than this. I purchased this bottle following the liquidation of a large amount of Aldo Conterno stock in the US a few years ago.
