Renato Ratti Barolo Marcenasco 2020

96 POINTS! - JAMES SUCKLING
POWER AND ELEGANCE, A PREMIUM BAROLO WITH A HISTORY STRETCHING BACK TO THE 12TH CENTURY

 

"This is linear and so racy with a structure and length and focused energy that takes you long and deep. It’s medium-bodied with dried strawberry, citrus and spice. Tight at the end. Classicism with transparency." - James Suckling

 

"Noble and generous, a glory of Old Piedmont, it is a wine suited to very long aging. Barolo is the absolute master of the dining room. It conquers the palate with strength, harmony and fullness and maintains its power at length. A great wine for important dishes, red meats roasted on a spit or grilled, game, dishes of gourmet white and red meats and ripe cheeses. Garnet red. Fragrance with notes of licorice and tobacco. Full and elegant flavor." - Renato Ratti

 

"Marcenasco is the site where Renato created La Morra’s first single vineyard wine in 1965. This single vineyard is located just outside the winery door, and the Marcenasco is Renato Ratti's classic wine. 

Today it is a blend of vineyards in the Annunziata subzone, including Rocche dell'Annunziata, Conca, Berri and the new MGA Serradenari, a combination that yields a Barolo of structure and elegance." - Enoteca
