Barolo docg Marcenasco Renato Ratti 2019

Barolo, universally known as "the king of wines, the wine of kings," is a noble and generous wine that has made history in the Italian wine heritage. The Barolo Marcenasco by Renato Ratti has ancient origins: there are documents attesting to the cultivation of Nebbiolo in the Marcenasco area of La Morra as early as the 12th century. Elegant and aristocratic wine, it presents itself with a beautiful intense garnet red color. With great complexity and finesse, on the nose, it offers a broad and enveloping bouquet, floral and spicy, with notes of rose, violet, jams, dried fruit, black pepper, licorice, and tobacco. The barolo Marcenasco by Renato Ratti is perfect to enjoy with grilled red meats, game, dishes featuring white truffle from Alba, and aged cheeses.

Renato Ratti’s caves are founded in 1965, when Renato decided to transfer the wine’s production, already begun in Alba, to La Morra in a building called the Annunziata. Since 1970 Renato Ratti became a datum point for the Langhe’s wine, and then he wrote lots of books about the composition and the history of his vineyards. After the death of Renato in 1998, the cave passed to his son Pietro, who amplifies his territories and modernize the winery. The building of the New Annunziata began in 2002, and even now it safeguards the wines’ production, always by respecting the tradition.
