“Marcenasco is the name of a brand owned by the Renato Ratti Estate, but it also refers to the vineyard in the town of La Morra. This 2014 Barolo Marcenasco offers rich, deep aromas of crushed black fruit with hints of roses, smoke, and asphalt. The fruit appears fully ripe, and the wine already reveals the depth and sophistication of an aged Nebbiolo. On the palate, Marcenasco is a bit more refined than the average for this vintage and has notes reminiscent of bitter cherry.” (Wine Advocate 2017 - Robert Parker). A truly great Barolo!

Review by Mr. MATHIEU D. Published on 12/15/2019
The two bottles I bought ended up down the drain: vinegar... Maybe there's a problem with the whole batch?

Very disappointing—it smells nice, but it doesn't linger on the palate and has an unpleasant dryness. Too bad, considering the price.

Captivating crushed blackcurrants, velvety tannins, a hint of smoke... a true nectar! This one truly deserves its title as the king of wines
