The Ratti Renato 2020 Barolo DOCG Marcenasco is a true expression of the Langhe terroir, a wine that encapsulates the history and passion of a region dedicated to exceptional viticulture. Coming from a favorable vintage, this Barolo is made exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes, a variety that finds its ideal habitat here, characterized by a soil rich in gray-blue marls and limestone.
Under its intense ruby hue, the wine presents a complex bouquet of aromas ranging from dried roses to ripe cherries, earthy hints of underbrush, and spicy notes of black pepper and dandelion. The palate is enveloped by elegant and well-structured tannins, which integrate perfectly with a vibrant freshness, making each sip an unforgettable experience. There are also hints of licorice and a mineral finish that adds depth and longevity to the wine.
The 2020 Marcenasco is also noted for its versatility in pairings. Perfect with red meats, braised dishes, and aged cheeses, it can also surprise when paired with eastern cuisine, where its complexity enhances the flavors. This Barolo invites contemplation, encouraging attention to detail, revealing new nuances with each encounter, and being appreciated not just as an accompaniment but as a companion during special evenings. A bottle to collect and ideally to drink after some years of aging in the cellar, for maximum expression of its potential.
