A Legacy of Barolo Greatness: Aldo Conterno

Today at Flickinger Wines we would like to showcase our current collection of wines from the great Italian winemaker of Barolo from Italy – Aldo Conterno. Available in-stock or on pre-order.

For collectors of Piedmont’s most noble reds, few names resonate with the same authority as Aldo Conterno. Known as the “King of Barolo,” Aldo forged a reputation for crafting wines that unite traditional depth with a modern elegance, producing bottles that are as age-worthy as they are captivating in youth. Today, his sons continue that legacy at Poderi Aldo Conterno, carrying forward one of Italy’s greatest winemaking traditions.

The estate’s Barolos are benchmarks of Serralunga d’Alba—wines of structure, perfume, and remarkable longevity. From the majestic Granbussia Riserva, produced only in the finest vintages, to single-vineyard crus like Cicala, Colonnello, and Romirasco, these are wines that demand attention in any serious cellar. They showcase the purest expression of Nebbiolo: vibrant red fruit, floral lift, and layers of earthy complexity that unfold over decades.

What sets Aldo Conterno apart is precision. The wines balance Barolo’s classical power with polished tannins and finesse, offering an extraordinary combination of approachability and long-term investment potential. This makes them both thrilling to drink and indispensable for collectors seeking Italy’s most collectible bottles.

The following are the wines remaining from the offer sent on Wednesday, September 17, 2025. Please enter your desired quantities and click the 'Add' button.

	JS 96 (1/2019): Gorgeous aromas of dark berries, cedar and very ripe fruit that follow through to a full body, deep and dense tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Plush. Drink from 2022.   WA 93 (6/2019): The 2015 Barolo Bussia is painted in the broadest of brush strokes when compared to the other wines tasted this year, which each hail from their own specific micro cru within the larger Bussia vineyard. This makes sense, because this wine sees fruit sourced from a much wider net. You do get a great sense of the vintage intensity and succulence with pretty layers of sweet fruit, rose, tilled earth and delicate button mushroom. This wine shows its pedigree with confidence. Some 15,000 bottles were made.

	VM 96 (4/2012): The 2008 Barolo Romirasco is striking. It possesses a cool, mineral-drenched personality similar to the Cicala, but with an extra dimension of textural finesse. Sweet red berries, flowers, mint and crushed rocks are woven together in this exquisite, gorgeous Barolo. Powerful and authoritative, the Romirasco impresses for its depth and unmistakable pedigree. Today the 2008 is an infant, but great things are in store for those who can wait. (Drink between 2018-2028). Antonio Galloni.
	2010	Barolo Romirasco (6x750ML) ETA 90-120 Days; No cancellations or returns. This item may be subject to tariffs.	$1,697.99	1
	VM 96+ (1/2014): The 2010 Barolo Romirasco stands out for its pure texture and balance. Today the 2010 is a bit compact, but that is not at all surprising given its underlying structure and very recent bottling. Those two factors considered, the 2010 Romirasco is a wine with tremendous future. The style is a little more sensual and less severe than the Cicala, with generally softer contours, all which should give it a slight upper hand in terms of accessibility. Antonio Galloni.
	2012	Barolo Romirasco (6x750ML) ETA 90-120 Days; No cancellations or returns. This item may be subject to tariffs.	$1,355.99	1
	JS 97 (3/2016): Very earthy and intense with ripe fruit and hints of bark and mushrooms. Full body, powerful and chewy. Great tannin structure. Better in 2020.   WA 93 (6/2016): Poderi Aldo Conterno's Bussia Romirasco sees a few extra months of oak aging. The 2012 Barolo Bussia Romirasco greatly benefits from that extra wood. Because the fruit in 2012 is less expressive overall, the Romirasco signature touch bodes well for its texture, heft and its aromatic delivery. This Barolo offers pretty richness and density with thick lines and deep concentration. The oak needs more years to integrate, but I feel confident that it will reach harmony, with time, given the wine's generous structure and fruity richness.   VM 89 (11/2016): The 2012 Barolo Romirasco is the best of these wines. Dark cherry, mocha, chocolate, smoke and plum notes give the 2012 its distinctly deep, powerful personality. From Romirasco I expect to see intense, balsamic-inflected aromatics and salivating energy. There is little, if any, of that here. The 2012 is a solid wine if taken on its own terms, but it is an underachiever relative to both the potential of this site and vintage. Antonio Galloni.
