This 2015 Barolo from Paolo Conterno, specifically the ‘Riva del Bric’ cru in Monforte d’Alba, will present a powerful yet elegant profile typical of the vintage. On the nose, expect intense aromas of ripe red cherries, dried roses, tar, licorice, and earthy undertones, possibly with hints of menthol and spice from Nebbiolo’s complex aromatics. The palate will be full-bodied with a robust structure, featuring firm, yet well-integrated tannins and vibrant acidity. Flavors of red and black fruits, dried herbs, forest floor, and mineral notes will lead to a very long, persistent finish, showcasing the wine’s depth and aging potential.
