Renato Ratti Marcenasco Barolo 2021

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. Score – 97. (jamessuckling.com, Jan. 11, 2025)
