“It’s so fragrant and delightful, with aromas of cherries, strawberries, and dried flowers, which carry through to a medium- to full-bodied palate, with firm, refined tannins and a long, lively finish. It’s all about length and finesse. Drink in 2024.” (James Suckling, 2021). A truly great Barolo!

Rated estate (2022 guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker—The Wine Advocate)

About the wine:

The 2017 Renato Ratti Barolo Marcenasco is balanced and refined, with a long, polished finish. Like the other wines in this estate’s lineup, the warm vintage is highlighted by aromas of dried fruit and dusty tannins, rather than jammy notes or overt ripeness. This production of 70,000 bottles results in a more refined palate and, ultimately, a shorter drinking window.

About the wine:

It is so fragrant and pleasant, with aromas of cherries, strawberries, and dried flowers, which carry through into a medium- to full-bodied palate, with firm, refined tannins and a long, invigorating finish. It’s all about length and finesse. Best enjoyed in 2024.
