"A great Barolo!"

“This stunning and delicious red offers alluring aromas of camphor, rose petals, small red berries, and spices, while the delightful palate surprises with notes of strawberry compote, kitchen spices, and star anise. Soft, silky tannins and fresh acidity keep it perfectly balanced. Best enjoyed between 2024 and 2030. ” (Wine Enthusiast 2022).

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

About the wine:

This is a classic wine that the Ratti family has proudly and consistently produced over the years. The 2018 Barolo Marcenasco comes from a vineyard in La Morra that has always been cultivated by this estate (though it is not an official MGA (Additional Geographical Indication)). However, it is a brand in its own right, known for its particularly silky tannins and delicate texture. The wine offers concentrated aromas of small berries, candied violets, and crushed stone.
