Assertive aromas of graphite, violets, mint and chalky minerality. A stunning, precise wine focused on elegance, with citrus flavors, a full body and lavish, velvety tannins supported by freshness. Long, youthful and savory aftertaste. Try from 2026, but best after 2030.

The flagship Barolo of the Ratti estate, sourced from the crus of La Morra, embodies grace and sophistication. This wine unfolds like an origami flower, revealing layers of violets, savory herbs, grilled red plum, and drying cherries. The palate is captivating, with wild mint and herbal notes playing devil's advocate to tart red fruits. Supported by elegant tannins, it is both soft and sturdy, offering a harmonious balance. A triumph of refinement and structure.

Fragrant and refined, the stunning 2021 Marcenasco offers aromas of violet, red berry, dark exotic spice, hints of French oak and menthol. The savory palate features ripe raspberry, cranberry, star anise and vanilla before a salty close. Firm, velvety tannins give the finish grip while fresh acidity keeps it balanced and bright.

Macerated cherry and raspberry fruit is shaded by orange peel, iron and menthol flavors in this juicy red. Needs time to absorb the chewy tannins, with a mix of savory and fruity elements on the finish. Shows fine balance and length.
