Poderi Aldo Conterno
Barolo Nebbiolo 2004
Belated post from Mother’s Day dinner. This was in full splendor at 20 years old. It was ready and had many secondary notes intertwined with primary flavors of rose petals, leather, wood shavings, yes the tar was there but not as pronounced as I have found in younger Barolos from Conterno. A gem found in the cellar that I’m glad I didn’t wait another day to open. — 2 months ago

Vigneto di Prugneto Sangiovese di Romagna Superiore 2021
My friend from Emilia Romagna brought me this wine again, 5 years after after visiting his hometown for Christmas. Same wine, different vintage, same enjoyment.
The nose is made of cherry, pencil shavings, some soy sauce and a touch of smoke. The palate is delicious with a great acid drive, some delicious cherry juice notes all along, some width, some grippy mouthfeel that is well disrupted by a great tannic wall kicking in the rear. The finish is tannic, grippy with cherry notes and some oaky, smoky notes and a great umami touch. It's a great Sangiovese from outside of Tuscany and it paired with nice steaks cooked rare in butter (2 minutes on each side) by yours truly 😅 — 4 months ago

An interesting wine. I have limited experience with 30+ year old Barolos. This one showed that age more than my others. Menthol, balsamic and raisiny. But those were all background or secondary notes with the mature fruit and heft this mature wine had. I decanted and consumed over 4 hours. It opened up after 3 hours and was a more rounded experience. Fantastic aged Barolo color too - the pale orangy combined with a unique deep red. Beautiful. — 8 days ago
