2019 Renato Ratti Marcenasco Barolo

Winemaker Notes: Garnet red color with a bouquet of licorice and tobacco. Noble and generous, glory of old Piedmont, this wine is suitable for aging. It conquers the palate with the conviction of strength, harmony and fullness and holds its sway at length. Barolo Marcenasco is smooth, balanced, elegant and faithfully, best to drink between 6 to 12 years after the vintage. Pair this wine with red meats on the spit or grilled, game, "grande cuisine", white and red meat dishes and aged cheeses.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Wine Enthusiast - "This Barolo is defined by its purity of tart red fruits that interplay with more delicate aromas of dried flowers and savory spices. The palate is sturdy and structured with a solid core of ripe cherries mixed with dried tea leaves finishing with vibrant acidity. Maze Row Wine Merchant. "


Wine Spectator - "A firm, elegant red marked by haunting aromas of rose, cherry and spices. Supple and beautifully balanced, with strawberry and cherry flavors shaded by underbrush and white pepper. Shows fine length, with a hint of licorice."


Jeb Dunnuck - "The 2019 Barolo Marcenasco is spiced and fragrant with cinnamon, fresh leather, red cherry, and clove. It is expressive through the palate, with wild berries, cedar, forest floor, and a well-balanced, ripe structure. Best After 2025."
