"Here is an interesting new offering from Ratti. Serradenari is a great MGA and one of the few cru sites that exist on the western slope, below the village of La Morra. The 2019 Barolo Serradenari has a more botanical bouquet, namely lavender buds, thyme, anise, and the kind of flowers and herbs you might find in a fragrant garden. It is nuanced and delicate, framed by a slight note of ash or crushed limestone. The finish is quite firm and lively." (Robert Parker - Wine Advocate 2023)

About wine:
This wine expresses itself with aromas of wild cherries, tart red plums, dried violets, and oolong tea leaves. The palate is elegant and almost dances on the mouth, with ripe red fruits giving way to savory flavors of fresh bay leaf, clove, and balsam. Drink between 2025 and 2040.

About wine:
La Morra. Medium ruby color. An appealing nose of red fruit and oak, but very subtle. The red fruit is marked by oak, the tannins are crisp, and the acidity is refreshing on the finish. A modern approach, skillfully executed. Not ready yet. 2026-2036

About wine:
Very fragrant with aromas of orange peel, hibiscus, and sliced strawberries that linger in a full body with layers of tannins and a juicy, chewy finish. A little traditional but solid. Give it time. Try it after 2027.
