"A true ambassador for the Ratti estate and the Barolo appellation!"

“Made from grapes grown in vineyards located just outside this modern estate—with its wooden exterior panels and clean architectural lines—at the foot of the climb to La Morra, this wine is Ratti’s best-known and also its largest production, with 70,000 bottles produced. The 2019 Barolo Marcenasco showcases the benefits of a stylistic shift that emphasizes understated elegance and finesse. The wine is noticeably lighter-bodied and opens with ethereal notes of blue flowers, dried cherries, blood orange, and chalky minerality. These subtle adjustments have ushered in an exciting new chapter for the Marcenasco.” (Robert Parker – Wine Advocate 2023)

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Wine Enthusiast)

About the wine:

This Barolo is characterized by the purity of its tart red fruit flavors, which blend with more delicate aromas of dried flowers and savory spices. On the palate, it is robust and well-structured, with a solid core of ripe cherries mixed with dried tea leaves, finishing with a vibrant acidity.

About the wine:

La Morra. Medium ruby color with orange highlights. The nose offers red fruit aromas that are still somewhat reserved but already complex. Concentrated red fruit with firm yet ripe tannins. At the moment, it is a bit austere and needs more time—which this wine richly deserves. 2026–2038

Rated winery (2022 guide) Recommended

About the wine:

This wine is very refined and well-balanced, with plenty of chewy tannins that are nicely integrated into the wine. Notes of flowers, strawberries, and dried orange. There are also hints of candied strawberries and watermelon. It lacks a bit of depth on the mid-palate, but all the elements are there. Best enjoyed after 2026.

About the wine:

The 2019 Barolo Marcenasco is spicy and aromatic, with notes of cinnamon, fresh leather, red cherry, and clove. It is expressive on the palate, with notes of wild berries, cedar, and forest floor, and a ripe, well-balanced structure. Best enjoyed between 2025 and 2040.
