“It’s so fragrant and delightful, 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, lively finish. It’s all about length and finesse. Drink by 2024.” (James Suckling 2021). A truly great Barolo!

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 jam or overt ripeness. This production of 70,000 bottles results in a more refined palate and, ultimately, a shorter drinking window.

Review by Mr. PATRICK D. Posted on June 10, 2023
Very disappointing, with an obvious lack of focus that overshadows its lovely fruitiness. The acidity is also a bit off-putting.
