96 Points James Suckling
A classic expression of Barolo from La Morra, the 2020 Renato Ratti Marcenasco combines refined elegance with focused structure and remarkable length. Crafted from 100% Nebbiolo, this historic wine showcases the graceful character of the Marcenasco vineyard, a site with roots dating back to the 12th century.
The wine opens with red fruit, dried strawberry, dark cherry, plum, licorice, tobacco, and savory herbs, complemented by bright citrus and spice. On the palate, it is full-flavored yet graceful, with focused energy, refined tannins, vibrant acidity, and a persistent finish. The 1.5L Magnum format makes this an especially appealing choice for collectors and long-term cellaring.
