MARCENASCO BAROLO 2019 DOCG |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
RENATO RATTI |
Renato Ratti’s single vineyard Marcenasco comes at a significant price and focuses on the elegant side of the equation. it’s really all the nuances, shades and intensities of flavours. Take the colour - it’s a gently ambering medium bricky red. The nose is intense, slightly spicy and gently complex with dried roses, ripe plum, raspberry and red licorice notes along with some minerality. Dry and fairly intense on the palate, it’s medium bodied, quite well structured and slightly spicy with elegant, ripe plum and licorice-tinged, red cherry flavours with a lingering, bright, gentle, cedar-sandalwood-tinged finish. This seamless 100% Nebbiolo has 14`% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar Assessed in an ISO glass from a freshly opened bottle on December 13, 2023. |

TASTING NOTE: 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. Cellar Selection. [Drink: 2025-2042.] Score - 95 (Jeff Porter, Wine Enthusiast, Sept. 1, 2023) |
